Gooseberry Blueberry Cobbler Recipes

GOOSEBERRY-RASPBERRY CRUMBLES

Steps:

• Filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in upper third.
• In a medium bowl, toss both berries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt.
• Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, salt, and nutmeg. Using a fork, stir in butter until incorporated. Topping can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.
• Divide berry mixture evenly among eight 3-ounce baking dishes (about 3 1/2 by 1 1/4 inches each). Sprinkle each with 3 tablespoons topping. Place dishes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Bake until fruit is bubbling all over and topping is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let cool completely. Serve with ice cream, if desired.

EASY GOOSEBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Place the gooseberries, caster sugar, ginger and elderflower in a saucepan with 4 tbsp water and cook, covered, for 5 mins until the berries begin to pop. Tip into a baking dish.
• Make the topping. Sift the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs, then stir in the caster sugar. Mix in the buttermilk to give a soft, sticky dough. Dollop spoonfuls on top of the gooseberries, then sprinkle with the demerara. Bake for 25 mins or until golden brown and crusty. Stand for 5 mins, then serve with some low-fat ice cream, fromage frais or custard.

VERY BEST BLUEBERRY COBBLER!

Steps:

• Lightly grease an 8 inch square baking dish. Place the blueberries into the baking dish, and mix with vanilla and lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of flour, then stir in the tablespoon of melted butter. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together 1 3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, and 6 tablespoons sugar. Rub in the 5 tablespoons butter using your fingers, or cut in with a pastry blender until it is in small pieces. Make a well in the center, and quickly stir in the milk. Mix just until moistened. You should have a very thick batter, or very wet dough. You may need to add a splash more milk. Cover, and let batter rest for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spoon the batter over the blueberries, leaving only a few small holes for the berries to peek through. Mix together the cinnamon and 2 teaspoons sugar; sprinkle over the top.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the topping should come out clean - of course there will be blueberry syrup on the knife. Let cool until just warm before serving. This can store in the refrigerator for 2 days.
