Blueberry Pear Cobbler
Ok here it is; my new favorite! This is pat myself on the back delish! I wish I could just eat this cobbler like how Randy ate his mashed potatoes in A Christmas Story. As of right now there is one sliver left and I hope to restrain myself from eating it so my husband can enjoy the last piece tonight.
I had some ripe pears that needed to be used so my initial intentions were to make a pear pie. Of course I always have intentions to do one thing with food and wind up making something completely different. I didn’t have time to whip up a pie crust and I had some blueberries that I needed to use too so I thought I would create this and boy am I happy I did!
Its super simple to make and even better to taste. This is one of those cobblers were you can skip the ice cream and whip cream and eat solo. Warm or cold this cobbler is scrumptious!
I really love the combination of the pears mixed with the juicy blueberries. The key is to use soft ripe pears, that are nice and juicy.
This recipe is good with any fruit such as apple, peaches, cheeries; just use 6 cups of desired fruit and following the remaining directions.
