What perfect way to celebrate summer with a cobbler made with some fresh fruit. This cobber recipe that I have is the perfect summer dessert. Starting with the perfect crust that holds well to the sauce that can be the perfect amount of thickness. Before I mix any of my ingredients to taste a few of the fruits to see if they may be tarty. If so just add a bit more sugar when mixing the fruit up. If you find that the sauce isn’t thick enough add a little bit of flour. Everyone has their own preference when it comes to eating fresh fruit and how sweet they like it. And this is the perfect example of a recipe where you can play around with and still not mess it up.
