Nectarine Cherry Blueberry Cobbler

Nectarine Cherry Blueberry Cobbler is giving homemade pie a run for its money…is this cobbler better than pie? You will have to be the judge of that. It’s certainly easier than pie, takes a lot less time and yields BIG taste results. It is always the most talked about dessert at the picnic…just be sure that before you go making it, you are okay with the acclaim that this fantastic dessert delivers every time.

This recipe is a longtime family favorite from Kentucky that I have passed along to family members, friends and now even our children are making it with accolades! It’s a sure-fire success and, using the fresh fruits of the season, it adds fireworks of color to your Fourth of July table with a splash of red, orange and blue and creates a tart taste sensation that makes a delicious juxtaposition against vanilla ice cream! It is adapted from our peach cobbler recipe so if you prefer only peaches, that will work, too!

Serves 6

Topping

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
6 tablespoons of butter, melted

Fruit Mixture

3 cups sliced fresh nectarines
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup fresh Bing cherries, cut in half and stoned
1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375◦F.

Cut up the fruit and mix together in a 9 in. x 9 in. baking dish or pie pan. Sprinkle lemon juice over the fruit mixture.

In a separate, smaller bowl, mix together the flour and sugar. If you are using unsalted butter, make sure to add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Beat the egg and mix into the flour mixture, tossing lightly. Spread flour mixture over fruit in baking dish. Melt butter and pour butter over the topping.

Bake for 35 minutes or until browned on top. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or sweetened sour cream.
