Frozen Strawberries and Peaches:

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Lightly butter a 2 1/2 quart baking dish with the butter. In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, peaches, sugar, flour, ginger and vanilla seeds. Transfer the fruit to the prepared baking dish and cover with the topping. Place the baking dish on a sheet pan to catch any juices that may bubble over. Bake until the crisp topping is golden brown and the juices have thickened around the edges. Serve with whipped cream, crème fraiche, or your favorite flavor ice cream, if desired.
