  4. Gently toss until berries are evenly coated.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  6. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
  7. Pour the berry mixture into the prepared casserole dish.

  9. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
