Berry Cobbler
By: Gigi Howe
I love this time of year with all the delicious berries becoming available. I sometimes wonder how I make it through the winter. The frozen berries are good, but there is nothing like fresh. I made this cobbler last weekend. I used strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. I have to say it was delicious. You can do any combination of berries. I used one 16 oz. container of strawberries, a pint of blueberries and three six oz. containers of raspberries. It adds up to about 8 – 10 cups of berries. If seeds bother you, you might want to limit or omit raspberries from your cobbler.
With this recipe, your topping does not necessarily cover all the fruit. That’s okay, its the way its supposed to be. You drop the topping by spoonfuls over the berries.
Of course, you can serve this cobbler with ice cream.. oh yum.
