Blackberry Peach Cobbler

Blackberry Peach Cobbler

Sometimes masterpieces are created by accident, and by that, we mean just looking in our fridge for ingredients that are days away from spoiling. Perhaps the idiom we’re looking for is: necessity is the mother of creation. We had blackberries and peaches that absolutely had to be eaten. There were too many to consume in one sitting, so we decided to bake them. Cobblers are what we like to call “lazy pies.” No bottom crust is required, just an easy biscuit batter to top off the fruit mixture. Cobblers are obviously a little more messy when it comes to presentation, but sometimes you just have to revel in imperfection. Serve with a dollop of whipped or ice cream for a richer experience.
