I use the Costco, Kirkland brand of frozen berries called “Three Berry Blend” that includes blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. You can use fresh berries, but you may need to cut down on the baking time by at least 5 minutes. Make ahead instructions: To make ahead: Bake and cool the crisp completely, then cover it with a double layer of aluminum foil. I don't suggest preparing the crisp and storing it, unbaked, in the fridge because the topping will get soggy.To freeze: Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
