Recipe: Blackberry and Peach Cobbler ala The Deen Brothers

BLACKBERRY AND PEACH COBBLER ALA THE DEEN BROTHERS
"Our family finds it hard to choose what to do with ripe summer fruit. Do we make a cobbler or a pie? Cobbler is a little easier, so here's the recipe for one of our favorites."

4 cups sliced peaches, pitted* (about 2 pounds)
2 cups blackberries*
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold & cubed
3/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 inch square pan; set aside

In a bowl, toss together the peaches, blackberries, sugar and cornstarch; set aside.

In a second bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cream and combine.

Spread the fruit mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan. Drop the biscuit batter by spoonfuls on the top of the fruit.

Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until golden brown on top and bubbling. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. If desired serve with ice cream.

*Substitute any ripe fruit for the berries and peaches.
