What is a Cobbler?
Think of a cobbler as a delicious mix of warm cooked berries and fresh mint, topped with a crunchy golden-brown biscuit dough. It’s like a heavenly combination of a fruit pie and a biscuit-y shortcake.
The name “cobbler” comes from the way the batter or dough is dolloped on top of the fruit, spreading out as it cooks. This creates a gooey, pie-like filling as the berries release steam and caramelize. Don’t forget to add plenty of butter or cream for the best cobbler experience!
Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh ones in this mixed berry cobbler recipe?
Our cobbler recipe recommends using fresh berries and fresh fruit whenever you can. However, you can still make cobblers, crisps, and crumbles with frozen fruit! So, if you have a big bag of mixed berries in your freezer and are wondering what to do with them, we’ve got you covered! In our mixed berry cobbler recipe, we use strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. It’s worth mentioning that blueberries have less pectin than most other berries, so it’s a good idea to mix them with others to thicken your dessert!
