Recipe Introduction

Cherry cobbler is a delightful dessert made with a thick crust and fruit filling. When early American settlers first arrived in the New World, many of the ingredients found in their old favorite recipes were pretty much unheard of in this new country. Settlers had to improvise and experiment using different ingredients, thus creating new dishes like cobblers. They became so fond of these new tasty treats that they were often served as the main course for a meal. It was not until the 19th century that cobbler became a dish primarily served for dessert. Cherry cobbler can be made with either fresh or canned cherries, though fresh cherries are always ideal to use in the recipe if you can. This type of cobbler is not very sweet because of the tart cherries. Enjoy National Cherry Cobbler Day by baking your own to enjoy as your main meal as the early American settlers did!
