Nectarine and Strawberry Crunch

The summer heat is here and I sometimes think that all I can eat is chilled fruit.  Some combinations of different fruits are just better than others.  This is one of the greatest.  This simple crunch is so good you will make it many times with many different fruits and nuts.
