Super easy and delicious. Use any berry or cut up fruit.. I've even used par blanch sweet potato cubes with mini marshmallows.. easy to get creative with

ingredients

 

1. 1 cup sugar
2. 3 cups flour
3. 2 sticks butter
4. 1 egg
5. 1 teaspoon baking powder
6. 1/4 teaspoon salt
7. 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
8. 4 cups fresh berries
9. 1/2 cup sugar
10. 3 teaspoons cornstarch

methods 

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
   
2. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, and baking powder. Mix in salt and cinnamon, if desired. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the shortening and egg. Dough will be crumbly. Pat half of dough into the prepared pan.
   
3. In another bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Gently mix in the berries, or whatever. Sprinkle the berry mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble remaining dough over the top.
   
4. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
