Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the berries and lemon juice in a zip-top bag. Add the cornstarch and shake to coat the berries. Place them in a 9x12-inch baking dish.

Step two

In a large bowl, combine the pecans, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.

In another bowl, combine the oil, honey and vanilla extract. Stir the liquid mixture into the pecan mixture to make the crisp topping.
