No matter how “techie” the world gets, traditional desserts like this cobbler are here to stay. This is the perfect finale for a summer Sunday barbecue.
The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility. For example, a cast-iron skillet works great, but any 8" square or round pan is fine too. And whatever combination of frozen berries and stone fruit you want to use will work. For convenience and consistency in flavor and quality, frozen fruit can’t be beat!
Allow the cobbler to stand after baking so the filling thickens. Then serve with plenty of ice cream!
Bring the fruit mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook 2–3 minutes to thicken.
