Cherry Cobbler (or Blackberry or Mixed Berry…)

cherry-cobbler

I brought this cobbler to small group last night.  It was a huge hit.  The recipe is one passed down from my Aunt Lois.  The cherries came off my friend, Laurie’s tree.  I love connecting with food like that.  It means I can love it more.

Here’s what you’ll need:

cherry-cobbler-ingr

2 – 2 1/2 cups sweetened fruit

1 cup flour

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. baking powder

1 cup milk

1/2 cup butter

*Note* I used about twice the amount of fruit called for and 1 1/2 times the batter recipe.  This made a pretty big pan.  You can use sour pitted cherries or blackberries or even mixed berries.  Just add about a cup of sugar (or since I had twice the fruit, I used nearly 2 cups of sugar) to sweeten the fruit.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Put the stick of butter in the pan and pop it in the oven to melt the butter.  In a bowl combine the sugar, flour, salt, baking powder and milk.  Take the pan with the melted butter out of the oven and pour the batter over the top of the butter, like this.

Place the fruit over the batter.  If your fruit is very juicy, dip it out with a slotted spoon.  Some juice is okay, but you don’t want too much.

Bake it at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.  When it comes out of the oven it will look like this.

People will love you for making this for them.  If you serve it warm with ice cream they might even hug your neck.  Make it and count the hugs you get.

    This looks so delicious! I haven’t had cobbler in ages. I may just use this one for my Friday post. :0) Do you think I could use frozen (thawed) cherries? I have some dark cherries in my freezer right now.

  2. This is the same cobbler that we make. I usually use fresh blackberries or peaches. People always love it!

  3. Tiffany says:

    Yummy! I made a similar recipe last summer with necterines from my neighbors’ tree….OMG it is sooo good! My hubby would be so delighted to come home to this, guess I better track down some fruit.

  4. Cheryl says:

    I would like to make this tonight, but Im a lil confused. Do I put the 1 cup sugar in with the fruit and let it sit? Or do I take 1 cup sugar and mix it in with the flour? (The recipe doesnt list sugar as an ingredient…)

    • Tiffany says:

      Cheryl, thanks for letting me know that I left out sugar in the ingredient list. I’ve gone in and fixed that and hopefully, that clears things up. I need to proof read better :-)

  5. Brenda says:

    This looks yummy!! We love cobbler and I love trying new recipes…I can’t wait to try this one…

  6. laurafrantz says:

    Tiffany, You have a wonderful site!! Cooking is dearest to my heart after writing:) I’m going shopping today and will get ingredients for this. Bless you and your kitchen!!

  7. Cheryl says:

    we loved this!!! thanks for sharing.

    another question: my fruit was not as juicy as yours. how long did you let it sit in the sugar?

    • Tiffany says:

      Cheryl, I’m so glad you liked it. Did you use the dark cherries like you mentioned? I didn’t let my fruit sit long in the sugar, but the cherries had been frozen with quite a bit of juice. A bag of frozen fruit from the store wouldln’t have so much juice I don’t think.

  8. Cheryl says:

    that was another person who had the dark cherries.

    I used fresh cherries. I cut and pitted them myself. I dont know what kind they were… whatever was on sale for $2 a bag at Safeway!

    • Tiffany says:

      Cheryl, fresh cherries sound so good and you got a great deal! Sorry about getting you mixed up with someone else. :-)

    Hi. :0)

    I am making this today and I wondered if a 13 X 9 pan will be okay or too big?

    If I can get it to turn out I am putting it up on my blog tomorrow. :0)

    • Tiffany says:

      I think 9×13 will work, but it will turn out thinner. I’ve never done it in that size pan. For one recipe, I usually use a square pyrex baking dish that is about 2 1/2″ deep.

  10. I just read your great post about your family saying on Sarah Mae’s blog. (If anyone hasn’t read it, go here: http://likeawarmcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2009/06/remember-who-you-are-and-make-good.html.) I really liked it. I got here by following the link in her blog. This cobbler looks wonderful!

  11. Beth says:

    I made a peach cobbler using frozen peaches for Father’s Day and I think it turned out to be the best cobbler I’ve ever made! I used a 9×13 Pyrex dish and literally set the frozen peach slices on top of the batter. (I did sprinkle a little sugar on the peaches before placing them on the batter.) It was so easy! I was worried it would be dry since there wasn’t any “juice” with the peaches. I cut the baking time shorter by about 10 minutes which I think helped. It was wonderfully moist and delicious! Thanks for sharing, Tiffany!

  12. MrsM says:

    Mmmmmmmmm….fruity dessert! Always a big hit in our house :)

  13. Oh, my!

  14. blueviolet says:

    SITSta, you show me calzones AND dessert in the morning? I’m growling now and all I have to look forward to is a Dunkin Donuts coffee! Great blog. You just became a name on my list.

  28. You obviously saved the best for last. Is there anything better than dessert? No! I LOVE COBBLER!

  29. Great recipe! My husband and oldest daughter are big cobbler fans. :) I love that you have lots of pictures.

    Happy SITS Day. That cobbler looks delicious. I’m not much of a baker, but I’m almost inspired to try that.

  36. Christine says:

    That looks really, really good! :)

  37. Laura says:

    Looks good. Happy SITS Day!

  38. Wow! That’s so cool – you put the berries on top and they end up on the bottom? I might just have to try this out. Plus it looks delicious. Plus it reminds me of the kind of things my Grandmother makes.

  39. Rachel says:

    YUM! I love blackberries and cherries….well any kind of cobbler really!

  40. Michelle says:

    LOOKS DELICIOUS. I’ve been getting organic cherries that are so delicious. Seems it would take forever to pit without a pitter. Strawberry sounds easier for me.

  41. Cher says:

    You are so good..I never make anything from scratch…I am motivated now! Congrats on being SITS FB! :)

  42. Kari says:

    Blackberry and cherry cobblers are just about my favorite desserts. Yours looks delicious!

    Happy SITS day!

  43. Joy says:

    Not only looks amazing but you used a phrase my grandma used to say: “…hug your neck”

    Enjoy your SITS feature day!

  44. mrs4444 says:

    Yummmmmmm.

  45. Kristen says:

    I’ll have to do this too…and I love your photos!! Are you a photographer and a cook?! 8-)

  46. Rabacal says:

    I suppose you could make this in a dutch oven over a camp fire, couldn’t you?

  47. Jeannie says:

    Delish!! I make something very similiar and yes, it’s a big hit!!!

  48. debbie says:

    I bookmarked this right away! I am lucky enough to have cherries from my dad and I will be making this soon!

  49. B.o.B. says:

    Absolute heaven. Can you just come to my house and make that for me? LOL

  50. Mimi says:

    Good grief, I’m trying to start a diet!

    Enjoy your SITS day!

  51. Skyler says:

  59. Jessica says:

    Lovely recipe! But what I really want to know is where did you get that adorable butterfly coffee mug??

    • Tiffany says:

      Jessica, the butterfly mug is part of a set of measuring cups that came from Pier 1. They aren’t quite accurate in their measurements, but they’re cute :-)

  60. Robin says:

    Look yummy…..I will have to try this.
    But I have never heard of making cobbler this way. All cobblers I know, the dough is placed on top of the fruit.
    There’s a first time for everything. :-)
    Thanks for sharing….

  61. the girl says:

    WOW! That looks like it’s about 18 different kinds of delicious… Can’t wait ’til it’s cherry season again in Australia. I’ll definitely be trying this one out. Thanks, SITSer!

  62. Dddiva says:

    My girls made a cobbler last week that was – well, let’s just say we kept the warm fruit and had the berries over ice-cream.
    Copying your recipe, it looks way more appetizing.

  63. Tonya says:

    Definitely love this one too!

  64. T&T says:

    yum – my hubbie would love this!

  65. Ashley says:

    My husband was just asking me to bake him something delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe. Yummness :)

  66. I think I gained a few pounds just browsing your site! My husband loves cherries too (in fact we made a cherry crisp for Father’s Day per his request) so this will be a winner in his book too. Enjoy your day in the SITS spotlight.

  67. YUMMY YUMMY!! It isn’t even 8:30 yet (here in CA) and you had my mouth watering for dessert!!

  68. Katie says:

    My mouth is seriously watering!

  69. Kelly Deneen says:

    I am drooling. And I want it with ice cream! MMMM a la mode.

  70. Mary says:

    Okay, that’s it. I’m gonna paste you into my Blogger Dashboard so I’ll be stalking, errr I mean following you!!

    Thanks for all the yummies! Happy SITS Feature Day!! Yay!

  112. Kathy says:

    Hi! This looks delicious!! I am curious what size pan you used, and how many people does it serve? I am hoping to make this tonight for a crowd of helpful movers and want to make sure I have enough, and that the pan is big enough! :) Thanks!

    • Tiffany says:

      The dish I used for this was smaller than 9×13 but deep. It will serve 10-12 I think if you do a double recipe. For a single recipe I use a 2 quart casserole dish.
