I love to make cobblers when fruit is in season. I also love to freeze fruit and make cobblers when they are not in season.
This blueberry cobbler is made of blueberries I picked in August last year. I froze them and now I am making this cobbler. You can also purchase frozen fruit which is almost as good as fresh.
I also love to make cobblers with my cast iron skillet. It truly is the workhorse of my kitchen. You do have to treat them well or they will rust. Mine is seasoned to perfection.
I love to add lemon zest to my cobbler. I know it sounds funny, but I once saw Tyler Florence do it on Food Network and I always thought that was the bitter part, however the zest of the lemon adds a brightness to the cobbler that makes it really stand out. Please don't omit that part. It really does make a very big difference.
The top is so good and crunchy with the thick and delicious blueberries, you really cant go wrong with this recipe. Just make sure you have a stash of vanilla ice cream in the freezer to go overtop of this while it is still warm.
