5 cups fresh fruit (sliced peaches or pears or berries)
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
Recipe
1. Combine fruit, 3/4 cup sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat until mixture comes to a boil.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and then cut in butter with a pastry blender. When mix is crumbly, add milk, making a dough that's soft but not sticky (you may not need all the milk).
3. Uncover pot and drop spoonfuls of dough onto bubbling fruit, spacing evenly. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, then cover and cook an additional 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
