                      Blueberry Cobbler

                      Here in Fresno we’re hitting the dog days of summer with warm evening and hot, hot days!

                      The end of summer also means it’s time to enjoy those late summer fruits like blueberries! And boy do I have a treat for you today with this old-fashioned family recipe for Homemade Blueberry Cobbler.

                      This is my Cousin Sadie’s recipe and was passed on to her from her Great Grandma Darnell. I am so proud to share it with you today!

                      Easy Blueberry Cobbler Recipe

                      Wouldn’t you agree that family recipes are precious? It was so great to share the gumdrop cookies recipe last week and I had a reader write in and suggest that I frame the handwritten recipe and I thought that sounded like such a great idea.

                      I’m honored that cousin Sadie wanted to share this on the blog too. I’ve made this several times and it’s knock-your-socks-off good!

                      Do you store cobbler in the fridge?

                      Yes, this should be refrigerated. Because it contains eggs, this will keep well in the refrigerator. Be sure to cover it.

                      How long does cobbler last?

                      Technically it should last 4-5 days refrigerated. In our home…. luckily to last three! It just gets eaten and enjoyed that quickly!

                      What is the difference between pie, a crisp and cobbler?

                      A cobbler is a deep-dish baked fruit dessert with a biscuit or pie dough topping – blueberries, blackberries, peaches – use your favorite!

                      A crisp is similar in that it is also baked fruit with a layer topping – toppings for a crips often include oats or nuts and is streusel-like using flour, sugar and butter.

                      A pie uses two layers of rolled out pie dough.

                      Can I substitute other fruit?

                      Yes, you can substitute your favorite fruit! Peach, blackberry, even strawberries or nectarines.

                      I have to say though if you decide you want to make peach cobbler, swing by and check out this recipe – the bourbon maple glaze? It’s too die for!

                      Can I substitute frozen blueberries?

                      What…. you only have frozen fruit? Guess what… that works also! Just be sure to thaw the blueberries first and lightly drain them. Just be sure to use at least four cups of fruit to make this recipe.

                      Easy Blueberry Cobbler

                      How do you make blueberry cobbler with fresh blueberries?

                      1. Preheat the oven.
                      2. Grease and flour the baking pan.
                      3. Combine blueberries, sugar and flour. Mix well, set aside.
                      4. Cream together butter and sugar.
                      5. Sift together remaining flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix in  the milk and blend together. Spread on the bottom of the 8×8 inch pan. 
                      6. Pour the berry mixture on top of the dough. 
                      7. Top with boiling water. 
                      8. Bake until hot and bubbly.

                      Here’s one more thing. This recipe is very versatile! Don’t have blueberries? Use blackberries, or cherries. Fresh or frozen (thawed) peaches will work too!
