Tuesdays With Dorie: Cobbling with Henry VIII
It looks like TWD will be linked to Henry VIII for now, as we make our way through The Tudors. This Tuesday's recipe is Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler (page 415), hosted by Amanda of Like Sprinkles on a Cupcake. However, I'm not a fan of baked cherries or rhubarb, not to mention I had a lot of leftover fruit. Without further ado, let me present a Nectarine/White Peach/Blueberry Cobbler:
Dorie's recipe uses a basic dough to form little "biscuits" and the biscuits ride on top of a puddle of delicious goo made from mascerated fruit and a smidge of cornstarch. It's not a cobbler for me without oats, hence the sprinkling of oats.
Serve with vanilla ice cream and enjoy. Optional, as always, are the rants of England's whiniest (and most libidinous) king.

I like the oats on top - they must provide a nice textural contrast to everything else. Very pretty cobbler.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. The oats are a nice touch and it looks so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love your addition of oats. Your cobbler looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour cobbler looks divine. I think that using up leftover fruit was probably the original intention for cobbler.
ReplyDeletesounds like a tasty combination!
ReplyDeleteI think your fruit combination sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI like the use of the oats.
ReplyDeleteYummy! I was going to make a strawberry rhubarb crisp last weekend, but I couldn't find fresh rhubarb. I wonder if frozen would do it justice...then again I haven't actually had rhubarb since I was 8 so maybe I don't even like it. Brett, of course, is wary of it. Maybe I should just do like you did and pick some different fruits.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good. I do like the look of the oats on top. Blueberries and peaches sound delicious :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab, especially with the hearty oat sprinkle.
ReplyDeletewow your cobbler looks well fancy! my cobblers are usually done in a very messy haphazard fashion :) love this. it look fantastic! x
ReplyDeleteWonderful job on converting this recipe to something that better suites your tastes. Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love oats! What a great idea - now why didn't' I think of that?
ReplyDeleteLove the sprinkling of oats. That makes it all health food! I like you site a lot!
ReplyDeleteLove the oats on top, and your fruit combination sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe oats on top add a real old-world appeal. This could as easily have emerged out of my great grandmother's oven as yours or mine. Timeless food is a wonderful thing!
