Make individual servings of this naturally sweet, Mason Jar Peach Crisp to take along on your next picnic or camping trip. Perfect for your lunch bag, too.

It’s camping and picnicking season and we’ve had an unusually long stretch of it here this year. I have to remind myself that just because we’re in the woods, near a lake, or out on the ocean is no reason to give up our healthy clean-eating habits. And just because we’re camping is no reason to have to give up . . . dessert!

We’re boat campers. We love to go out on the ocean and find quiet coves or secluded beaches to picnic for the day or anchor for the night. There is no better way to fall asleep than with the sound of the waves lapping against the hull, an occasional splash from a seal, or a call from a gull. The islands near our home offer lots of opportunities for day hikes, swimming, crabbing, prawning, beachcombing, and even whale-watching on a lucky day.


I keep our boat camping meals simple so we can spend time exploring trails and enjoying beaches. This Mason Jar Peach Crisp makes an ideal camping dessert. It’s a healthy treat that doesn’t require graham wafers, marshmallows, chocolate or a fire! Before our last trip, I made several jars, packed what we would need, and put the rest in the freezer for another trip.


Finding meals that can be made in advance, that pack well and don’t take up a lot of room can sometimes be challenging. Recipes with marinades work well. I prepare the marinade, put the meat in a ziplok bag, add the marinade and freeze it flat.
This Easy Baked Thai Chicken and this Chipotle Peach Glazed Chicken are two options that we’ve taken camping lately. I use boneless chicken which will cook quickly on a grill.

Peaches are on the “Dirty Dozen” list so you may want to choose organic peaches if you can find them or if you don’t grow your own. Check your farmer’s market or local farm stands, but hurry! They’ll be a distant summer memory soon. And if you miss them, try this Mason Jar Peach Crisp recipe with other fruit or berries instead. Blackberry Crisp is just as delicious.

And if you love peaches as much as I do, try these Grilled Peaches with Honey Lemon Drizzle, Peach Ginger Iced Tea, Peach Sangria, and Caramelized Peaches and Figs.

• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 inch knob of ginger, finely grated
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Crisp Topping

• 1 cup oat flour (grind rolled oats, use gluten-free oats if necessary)

5. Fill 1/2 cup Mason jars three-quarters full with the peach mixture, then add the topping.
