    • Caster Sugar
    • Butter
    • Milk

    🥄 Equipment

    A chopping board and knife to cut the strawberries into pieces, a mixing bowl for the cobbler topping, and an oven-proof dish for baking, are all you need.

    🔪 Instructions

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    One: Preheat the oven and place the chopped strawberries into a large bowl and add the light brown sugar, orange juice and zest, balsamic vinegar, and plain flour.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    In the summer I love to eat fruit cobbler warm from the oven served with creamy no churn honeycomb ice-cream. It's a great dessert for summer BBQs and family gatherings.

    Then there's the custard option, which I favour during the colder winter months. Oh, and we mustn't forget clotted cream, which turns it into a truly decadent dessert, any time of year!

    Use different soft fruits depending on what's in season. Raspberries or blueberries would work well, or even a combination of all three berries.

    Peach cobbler is also a nice variation to your cobbler repertoire.

    🥡 Storage

    The cobbler is best eaten fresh out of the oven but leftovers can be stored in a cool place and reheated in the microwave.

    ❓ FAQS

    What is a cobbler?

    A cobbler is a dish consisting of a fruit or savoury filling, poured into a large baking dish and topped with a dough batter. It's baked in a hot oven to ensure the cobbles are golden and crispy.

    How do you know if a cobbler is done?

    The fruit filling should be bubbling around the sides of the dish and the cobbler topping should be golden and crispy on top.

    Does a cobbler have a bottom crust?

    No - a cobbler does not have a bottom crust. The bottom layer is the fruit, which is then topped with the cobbler dough.

    Strawberry glut?

    • These bakery style strawberry muffins make the most amazing after school snacks! The kids always request a batch of these when we have strawberries in the house.
    • Strawberry Mojito Cooler - a refreshing strawberry mojito cooler is the perfect cocktail when sweet juicy strawberries are in season. There is nothing better on a hot sunny day!
    • Rhubarb and strawberry crumble is a fruit pairing made in heaven. I love the ruby red colour of this crumble. A delicious hearty fruit pudding.

      This makes me think of my Mom, she loved to make cobblers. I think I really need to revive that tradition!
