GRAMMA'S PEAR-CHERRY COBBLER
"Here's one for Gramma and a helper on a wintry day. Gramma takes care of the bubbling fruit. The second cook helps with the topping and watches the clock."
FOR THE FRUIT MIXTURE:
1 (29 oz) can pear halves, undrained
1 (4 oz) jar maraschino cherries, undrained
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar, divided use
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
FOR THE TOPPING:
1 cup Bisquick baking mix
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tbsp butter or margarine, softened
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
TO PREPARE THE FRUIT MIXTURE:
Mix pears (with syrup), cherries (with syrup), cornstarch, 1/4 cup sugar and the nutmeg in saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute.
Pour fruit mixture into ungreased 1 1/2-quart casserole. Keep hot in oven while preparing topping.
TO PREPARE THE TOPPING AND BAKE:
