Cherry season is short...so be sure you
don't miss out on making this delicious cobbler! (Of course,
if you do, you can always use frozen cherries!)
Very Cherry Cobbler
- Filling:
- 2 cups water
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 pounds (6 cups) pitted Northwest fresh sweet cherries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
- Biscuit Topping:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
Milk or cream for brushing on biscuits
Sugar for sprinkling on biscuits
- For Filling: In large saucepan, stir together
water and cornstarch. Add cherries, sugar, lemon peel and salt.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes, stirring, until
mixture thickens and become clear. Transfer fruit mixture to
shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish; set aside.
- For Biscuit Topping: Combine flour, sugar,
baking powder and salt in medium bowl. In a separate bowl, beat
heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add cream to dry ingredients;
mix with fork until mixture begins to hold together. Transfer
to lightly floured surface; knead 10 times or until smooth dough
forms. Roll or pat out to 3/4-inch thick circle.
- Place on top of fruit mixture. If preferred,
topping can be cut with a biscuit cutter into 6 biscuits. Brush
topping with milk or cream and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 to
20 minutes, or until biscuits are browned and fruit is bubbling.
Cool slightly before serving.
