2 pounds (907 grams) mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries) You can use fresh or frozen berries. Just defrost the frozen berries at room temperature before using.
½ cup (104 grams) granulated sugar
Zest of 1 whole orange
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons corn starch
For the topping:
¾ cup (98 grams) all-purpose flour
½ cup (64 grams) pecans, ground in a blender
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 cup (170 grams) light brown sugar
¼ cup (55 grams) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
1 large egg beaten
⅔ cup (160 ml) whole milk

Preheat oven to 350°F/177 °C.
Generously butter a 9 ½-inch round baking dish.
Add the berries to a bowl and add the sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch, mix well. Transfer to the baking dish.

To a mixing bowl add the flour, pecans, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar, mix. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the dry mix until it resembles crumbs. Stir in the egg and milk until well mixed.
Use a 2-inch ice cream scoop to spoon the batter over the berries in an even layer. Bake for 35-45 minutes (depending on your oven) until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
