TWD~Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler


Posted by Picasa

Well I would have to say we really enjoyed this weeks recipe much better then last week! The rhubarb and cherries were excellent together, the tart rhubarb with the sweet cherries, perfect! It also worked out well because my Moms birthday was this week and her favorite fruits are cherries and rhubarb. We did add a zest of one orange to the dough and added some more fruit as it seemed to need more filling. We also cut the cobbler dough into hearts for a more girly feel for her party! All together I really liked it but would have to say I enjoyed the mixed berry cobbler we made a few weeks ago better. (for TWD) Oh, I almost forgot since we are living in Texas we have not been able to find any rhubarb, the last week when we found out that we were supposed to make this we realized that our parents were going to Michigan for a surprise anniversary party for some friends so we asked our Mom to try and find some, she returned with lots of rhubarb and fresh cherries! Perfect for our cobbler! So we had imported fruit:)

That was smart to "import" the fruit!

Not only did this work perfectly for your Mom's b-day but she was able to get you fresh rhubard. Making hearts for the topping is also very cute! =D

Lovely cobbler! And what a nice birthday present for your mother. I'm in San Antonio, TX, and I had to go to a couple stores for rhubarb, and even then, it didn't look so crisp! Good thinking on getting it from a colder climate.

Self-imported fruit, always a great thing. Love the heart-shaped topping!

Tammy said...

that is great that you managed to get rhubarab. hope you enjoyed it!

What a lovely birthday cobbler! Great idea using "hand-imported" fruit. They grow great cherries in Michigan!

Shari said...

I wouldn't have been able to get heart shapes with my wet batter! That looks great! I like your idea of adding orange to the fruit medley. Great idea!
