Nectarine and Strawberry Crisp with Rose Sugar

Ingredients
2/3 cup oats
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
½ cup brown sugar
pinch salt
2 tablespoons ground almonds
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons dried rose
4 nectarines or peaches, sliced
1 1/2 cups halved strawberries
2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
Place the dried rose and the sugar in a spice grinder or food processor and pulse together. Set aside. I like to do this at least a few hours before making the rest of the crisp so that the sugar can mingle with the rose for awhile.

Heat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, almonds, and flax seeds. Pour in melted butter. Blend the butter with the oat mixture. It may help to use a fork. Once the mixture is coated with the butter, set aside.

Place the nectarine slices and strawberries in a large bowl, and gently mix them with the rose sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch. Place in a greased baking dish (I used a 9-inch round pan). Sprinkle the oat and brown sugar mixture on top of the fruit. Bake for 45 minutes.
