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:
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.
This is the same cobbler that we make. I usually use fresh blackberries or peaches. People always love it!
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.
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…)
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
This looks yummy!! We love cobbler and I love trying new recipes…I can’t wait to try this one…
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!!
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?
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.
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!
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)
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.
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!
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!
Mmmmmmmmm….fruity dessert! Always a big hit in our house
Oh, my!
That looks sinfully delicious!
Thank you for the great recipe. I can’t wait to try this one!
Why must you tease me soooo!?
Great recipes…I shall be watching your blog from now on.

Oh wow, tasty! Happy SITS day.
Oh wow, that looks delicious! And it’s only 6 am… Happy SITS day!
Oh my goodness, that looks delicious!
Wowsa. I so want to try this. I bet it’s fabulous warm with a little bit of vanilla ice cream. Happy SITS day!
Yum! That really looks easy!
We LOVE cobblers around here! We’re hoping to go cherry picking in the next two weeks…I’ll have to keep this recipe in mind when I’m staring at all those red beauties!
OK, now I’m hungry. Seems too easy to be true. I have to try this one!
One word…YUM!
Wow! This looks simple, beautiful and delicious! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. x
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.
You obviously saved the best for last. Is there anything better than dessert? No! I LOVE COBBLER!
Great recipe! My husband and oldest daughter are big cobbler fans.
I love that you have lots of pictures.
Happy SITS Day!
Sounds great!! Can’t wait to try it!! Thanks for sharing
Looks D’Lish!
Sweet! I am definitely making this!
Yummy!!
What a great job you do with your recipe posts! Look forward to more. Paul will love this one.
Happy SITS Day. That cobbler looks delicious. I’m not much of a baker, but I’m almost inspired to try that.
That looks really, really good!
Looks good. Happy SITS Day!
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.
YUM! I love blackberries and cherries….well any kind of cobbler really!
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.
You are so good..I never make anything from scratch…I am motivated now! Congrats on being SITS FB!
Blackberry and cherry cobblers are just about my favorite desserts. Yours looks delicious!
Happy SITS day!
Not only looks amazing but you used a phrase my grandma used to say: “…hug your neck”
Enjoy your SITS feature day!
Yummmmmmm.
I’ll have to do this too…and I love your photos!! Are you a photographer and a cook?!
I suppose you could make this in a dutch oven over a camp fire, couldn’t you?
Delish!! I make something very similiar and yes, it’s a big hit!!!
I bookmarked this right away! I am lucky enough to have cherries from my dad and I will be making this soon!
Absolute heaven. Can you just come to my house and make that for me? LOL
Good grief, I’m trying to start a diet!
Enjoy your SITS day!
