This weeks
Tuesdays with Dorie recipe was chosen by
Amanda. She chose Cherry Rhubarb cobbler and I immediately went hunting for rhubarb. After trying every place I could think of (Safeway, Fry's, Trader Joe's Sprouts, Costco) I decided this cobbler was going to be a peach cobbler or nothing at all, so I opted for peach blackberry (with Cinnamon instead of Ginger).
I love how fast the recipe came together- the simple topping was very biscuit like and quick to do in the food processor. After my family tried it, they all informed me they prefer cakey cobbler to biscuity cobbler, so while I probably won't make this particular recipe again, I loved the technique with the balls of dough on top and quick preparation with the food processor. I was also pleased with the whole wheat flour in the recipe (I need to work on incorporating more whole wheat flour and I want to look into agave nectar, too- suggestions would be appreciated!)
Once the pan came out of the oven, I wasn't overwhelmed by the beauty of the dish. However, after I scooped out a serving, I was happily surprised by the color contrast of the fruit.
All the juice at the bottom turned bright purple (that color is not at all touched up) and I loved the layered look. I also thought this cobbler was delicious with a little vanilla ice cream and enjoyed every bite of it. The recipe is available on
Amanda's blog or in

Yum! I love peach and blackberry together, and I bet cinnamon was great with them. Great colors in that last photo.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is *some* color to your cobbler! I have to disagree with your tasters though - cobbler is meant to be biscuity :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a delicious combination!
ReplyDeletePeach and blackberries sound like a great combination. Those peaches look great in the cobbler.. I like how there is more fruit than biscuit!
ReplyDeleteWhat great colors in the last photo. Your completed cobbler looks good, too with all of the biscuits on top. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! I think that peach combo sounds pretty delicious!
ReplyDeleteGood looking peaches! What a delicious fruit combination. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteYour cobbler looks delicious! I love the color combination.

I think I might just stop reading your cooking blog for the next two months... :o( It's hard to know you can't eat any of it when it is like a mile away and sometimes delivered to your door...
ReplyDeleteOh this looks so yummy. I have never even had this combo. before but I must taste it one day.
ReplyDeleteNow that's just lovely. I did the same as you-peach, blackberry and cinnamon. Aren't we smart?:)
ReplyDeleteYour cobbler is colorful and looks tasty. I was not on fire about this dessert. Im glad I made it though.
ReplyDeleteMmm, peach cobbler is the best. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is great, love, love the colors. Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteCobbler is supposed to be a lowly little sort of thrown together goodness...I think you managed to elevate the score a bit...very beautiful. You really should make it again and again and again...and pass it on! :-)

That is a gorgeous colour! Peach and blackberry sounds yummy, one to try next time I think :)
ReplyDeleteyummm! I love peach blackberry cobbler! It looks so delicious! Great job!
ReplyDeleteyum that sounds delish!! i did a diff combo too ... cherry and currants, it was so yummy. i loved this topping because it held up to the juices so well!
ReplyDeletePeaches and blackberries sounds soooo good! I bet there are so many good combinations one could use for this dessert. I love the dish of cobbler with the big blob of ice cream.
ReplyDeleteooohhh orange and purple. How fun! Great job!
ReplyDeleteClara @ iheartfood4thought
That sounds like a great combo especially with the cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteLove your cobbler! Cinnamon sounds like a great choice of flavoring.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought of cobbler as a very down-home dessert -- it's not supposed to be elegant! Yours looks wonderful!
I love your peach & blackberry combination, and I'm betting the cinnamon sets it off beautifully. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWOW...I love the look of your cobbler and sad you couldn't find rhubarb either. Season was long over for us here in Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteI found the biscuit type topping to be awesome..I am a doughy kind of person anyways and made sure I had some "stuck" to the food processor after dumping out the utterly soft dough.
Great photos...very tasty looking. I look forward to your post next week!
Holy Cow Annie! 30 comments: whoa! This looks delish!
ReplyDeleteyour fruit combo sounds great!
ReplyDeletei try to sneak a little whole wheat into things as well. i find that in things like pizza dough, that taking out about half cup or so of regular flour for whole wheat works well. (king arthur has a good book called "whole grain baking" that has tons of recipies across the baked goods spectrum.) agave is a good sweetener for soupy/syrupy fruit fillings like this (although i would only put it in the fruit part...no the topping). it would probably be a good replacement for honey in recipes, too.
Peach and blackberry would be great. I use agave nectar now and then. The important thing to remember is that, if you are substituting it for sugar or honey, you can use less. About 1/4 to a 1/3 less. It is sweeter.
ReplyDeletePeach and blackberry sound perfect together! Delicious.
