My Favorite Cobbler
Ingredients List
- Fruit or berries
- Water
- Sugar
- Yellow cake mix
- Walnuts, chopped
Directions
Any kind of fruit or berries can be used. My favorite is black or
boysenberries, freshly picked. Wash the berries in cold water. Oil the pot
and put about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom. Sweeten berries to taste
then sweeten a little more. Some berries taste sweet enough fresh off the
vine but in pies or cobblers they come out too tart, so be generous with
sweeteners. Pour fruit in pot. I usually use a yellow cake mix, but I like
a lemon or butterscotch for variety. Mix the cake mix according to
directions, stirring in a generous amount of walnuts. Since moving to
Hurricane, pecans have taken the place of walnuts at times. Spread evenly
over fruit. Ken says to be a dutch oven cook you have to get your fingers
into it, so spread batter with fingers if you want to be professional!
Anyway, you want a little of your character in your food. Cook with low
heat on the bottom, higher on top. Check often.
