| | | SPRING FRUIT COBBLER Serving Size: 4 to 6 Really easy and really delicious! This fruit dessert blends the luscious flavors of beautiful berries with balsamic vinegar and a little sweetness. The streusel topping adds texture and flavor to create a luscious dessert. Ingredients For the Fruit:
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1 cup blackberries
1 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
For the Topping:
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, toasted & chopped
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons room temperature unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Freshly Whipped Cream, as an accompaniment Directions Preheat the oven to 375°F. Combine the fruit with the sugar, balsamic vinegar and cornstarch in a saucepot. Place the pan over medium heat and cook gently, until the juices begin to run from the berries, about 4 to 5 minutes. Pour into an ovenproof dish. To make the topping, stir the nuts, flour, brown sugar and granulated sugar together in a small bowl until blended. Add the butter and using your fingers or a pastry blender, rub the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the berries and bake until the topping is lightly browned and the berries are bubbling, about 35-40 minutes. Serve with whipped cream. Chef’s Note:
Try substituting other fruit such as fresh pears, apricots or even peaches. Slice the fruit into uniform pieces and combine with the berries or create a single fruit cobbler, depending on the season. |
