Nothing sounds more like summer than cobbler, whether it is a cherry cobbler or peach cobbler.  We just recently made a yummy cherry cobbler from the sour cherries that grow in our own backyard.  Served with vanilla ice cream, it was like a taste of heaven.

You can use either fresh sour cherries or pie filling to make a cobbler.  If using fresh cherries, pit about 3-4 cups of cherries and then add about a quarter cup of  sugar and about a teaspoon of flour or cornstarch for thickening.

Recipe for Cherry Cobbler

• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup flour 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 cans cherry pie filling or 4 cups fresh sour cherries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Then melt butter in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan.  Mix brown sugar, flour, salt and baking powder together and mix well.  Add milk, this will be a thin mixture.  Pour over the melted butter and then top with the cherries or pie filling.  Bake for approximately 50 – 60 minutes, until brown.  Serve with vanilla ice cream.
