I've been thinking of making this for ages now and it has just occurred to me that it would probably be perfect with the (very, very) reduced raspberries I got that have been in the freezer. Would I put some apples in too? Would I have to defrost them first? I don't think I could do raspberries on their own, I'm not a berry girl really.

Hi Mariel! I do a lovely apple and blackberry cobbler and I've often used frozen blackberries, still frozen. As long as they're separate, and not a frozen block (:rotfl: ) there's no problem.

eash time i see fruit cobbler on any posts i always think about making it but never have.

only fruit i have is apples,bananas and dried sultanas as i have yet to do a shop in june will this make a nice fruit cobbler?

I fancy this too as i only usually make a savoury cobbler. I have some brown bananas that need using, would these work by themselves or would i need a wetter fruit as well eg apples ?

Personally I wouldnt use bananas. I tried them in another recipe once and they just went all mushy and slimy.

thank you, banana loaf it is then ! I've got some tinned pineapple in the cupboard, i might try that for the cobbler instead

I made one last night with 3 pears - peeled, cored and quartered.

We had it with ice cream and it was lovely - much better than a cheap frozen dessert.

I also sprinkled a little sugar over the top to make a slight crust.

hi

i was just wondering if there was anyone that knows how to make a savoury cobbler?

i've had a go at the fruit one, but i've got a tin of stewing steak that's been sitting in my cupboard doing nothing for months, and i thought it might be a good way to use it up

i think it should be more along the lines of a dumpling mix, but i don't really know where to start

Dumpling recipe:

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (6oz) self-raising flour
3/8 cup (3oz) suet
cold water to mix

Method
- Mix all ingredients together to form a stiff dough
- Form into as many dumplings as required.
- Put into the stew or casserole for the last half an hour of cooking.

Couldn't be easier! I make mine about 3cm round - they grow to about 5cm when cooked. For a crispy top you can stick the casserole under the grill for 5 min on high (or until browned to your liking). You can also sprinkle on some cheese

Hi there mandy-moo-1
When i make it i use a plain scone recipe..and just add a sprinkle of mixed herbs....

It's worth noting that you can make a fruit cobbler with a scone mixture too If you make it a bit wetter than usual you can dollop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the fruit/meat.
