You can try several variations of this, like using blueberries instead of cherries. Serve warm with ice cream.

  • Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large saucepan; stir in water until mixture is smooth. Add cherries and butter to sugar mixture and bring to a boil; cook and stir until cherry mixture is thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour cherry filling into the prepared baking dish.

  • Mix flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; cut in shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into flour mixture until topping is just moistened. Drop topping by spoonfuls over cherry filling; sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over topping.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

This was delish. Only made a few changes. Omitted the cinnamon and added a 1/2 tsp almond extract. Used buttermilk instead of milk and used all butter, no shortening. Will make again. Read More

I followed the recipe exactly. I did not care for the taste of the filling--it congealed after it set up. I felt there was too much topping to filling and topping was a bit dry. It definitely needed vanilla icecream on top to add some contrast flavor. I would recommend adding another bag of cherries to this and to dry the cherries off with a paper towel after thawing and before adding them to the mixture. I won't be using this recipe again.

I made this recipe for my husband and he almost ate the entire dessert by himself. The only thing he said was that could have made better by adding more of the topping on it. Other then that it was great. Read More

Made it twice second time had to add red food coloring. Maybe cherries not as ripe second time. Biscuit topping a little heavy. Hub liked it but seems like recipe needs a little something to make it great. Read More

This cobbler was delicious and definitely a keeper! I couldn't find a bag of frozen organic dark sweet cherries so I used the organic "cherry berry" frozen mix available at CostCo and picked out the strawberries prior to thawing (to use in smoothies later). The shortening I used for the topping was very cold butter and I cut it into the flour mixture just like making a pie crust. It was fabulous! Read More

The cherry mixture turned into gelatin which we did not care for. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Read More
