It's Cobbler time!
Tarara Vineyard's Blackberry Days Wine Festival (in Leesburg, VA) is quickly approaching (August 2nd and 3rd). Several years ago I used their berries and cobbler recipe to make an easy dessert. I've been using the recipe (with various enhancements) through the years. The last couple of years I have been tart cherry picking at Homestead Farm (in Poolesville, MD)...and tart cherry cobblers (that are made with fresh cherries) are truly delicious and my favorite. I've made the cobblers with peaches, nectarines, apples, and various berries. My last cherry picking trip at was at Homestead was a couple of weeks ago. Right now, the farm is probably nearing the end of cherry season and the beginning of blackberry season. They will have peaches, nectarines, and raspberries later in the summer. The recipe follows: Mix and sift a cup of flour (I now use 1/2 whole wheat organic flour) with a cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Add a cup of milk (I use low fat) and mix. Pour it into a buttered baking dish. The recipe calls for a stick of melted butter, but i use about 1/2 a stick (or substitute a little oil instead). When I use butter...i often get it from the farmer's market; you can tell the difference in the quality. Add the fruit (sweetened to taste). I sometimes I dust the top with sugar. I sometimes add a little amaretto liqueur or real vanilla extract (I use Madagascar vanilla) or cinnamon (I use good quality cinnamon from a spice store) to the batter. And, now you have something to bring to your 4th of July picnic. I sometimes top it with ice cream, or frozen yogurt.
