Cobblers, crumbles, grunts, slumps, brown betties. All have fruit. All have a pastry, streusel, or cake-like portion. All are easy and all are delicious. Dorie's cobbler doesn’t disappoint either. You can find a pretty good description of each of these types of desserts here.According to Dorie, “a cobbler is about the most flexible dessert you can think of. In fact, it may even have gotten its name because of its flexibility: you can cobble it together with just about anything you've got around.”
I cut some rhubarb from the garden and bought some local strawberries. The topping was simple and only required a squeeze and press to form on top of the individual cobblers I made.
Recipe
You can find the recipe for Mixed Berry Cobbler in the book Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan or at NPR where Dorie talks with Michele Norris about this great summertime dessert. Dorie also provides a blueberry-peach cobbler recipe at Serious Eats. To see how the rest of the TWD group fared with this week's recipe, click here and then click on each blogger! Thanks to Beth of Our Sweet Life who chose the recipe for this week.Tasting Notes
This was such a simple and easy dessert. As the recipe says, go light on the strawberries since they reduce a lot during baking. I should have read the recipe more carefully, but it was still delicious!

Well, as usual you always find a way to amaze us... although so Southern, you've managed to give your cobbler a feel of... hummmm... british, dainty victorian flair! LOL

Is rhubabrb hard to grow? We have lots of things in our garden, but never rhubarb...I would love to hear what you have to say...
Other than that, Excellent job!
Hey everyone - thanks again for all your support and lovely comments. Just found this funny Rhubarb Tart poem from Monty Python at Weed Wackin' Wenches and thought I'd pass along the link.
As for growing rhubarb, it's dead easy and will take over more and more space if you let it. I planted a small plant last year and have more than I need this year! By cutting only a few stalks at a time, I'm hoping I can get rhubarb throughout the summer. Hope that helps!
