The Perfect Cherry Cobbler.

Originally published April 2013.

I absolutely love a great cherry cobbler. When I think comfort food desserts, I think warm from the oven goodness.

If what you pull from the oven goes well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream, that’s better still.

Cherry cobbler fresh from the oven.

Such was the case last weekend at Sunday dinner when our family enjoyed this uncomplicated but scrumptious cherry cobbler. I can’t think of a better end to a weekend family dinner that tops of a busy week.

Fresh Cherries are great in season.

Frozen cherries can make this recipe an economical, year round treat.

A great cobbler is always amazing when you use fresh fruit but when cherries are not in season, you can still make this delicious dessert using frozen cherries as we did here. Serve this one with your Sunday dinner and you’ll have ’em coming back for more every week.

This cherry cobbler doesn’t skimp on the cherries
