Grandma's Berry-Peach Cobbler (Recipe)


This dessert is downright homey and delicious.  Don't expect the cobbler topping to be browned but do expect it to taste good.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package frozen unsweetened blackberries, thawed but not drained
1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed unsweetened berries (raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries) or 1 (16 ounce) package frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed but not drained
1 (16 ounce) package frozen unsweetened peach slices, thawed but not drained
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, cut up
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon-sugar
Sweetened whipped cream

Steps

1.  In a 4-quart electric slow cooker, combine the fruits with their juices, granulated sugar, and 1/3 cup flour.  Mix well.
2.  Cover and cook on the high heat setting 1 to 1 1/4 hours.  Stir well.
3.  Just before the time is up, in a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine the remaining 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.  Process to mix well.  Add the butter and process until cut into fine crumbs.  Add the cream and vanilla and process until the mixture holds together and forms a soft ball.  Drop spoonfuls of the of the dough evenly on top of the fruit.  Dust the mounds of dough lightly with the cinnamon-sugar
4.  Cover and continue cooking on high (do not cook on the low heat setting as the dough will not cook properly) about 1 1/2 hours, or until the dough is cooked through.  Serve with whipped cream.
