Does anybody have a plum tree bursting with fruit right now? I desperately miss the tree we had at our last house, but luckily we have friends who blessed us with a huge stash from their orchard.
This cobbler can also be made with peaches or berries, I just happen to love it with plums! Yes, I realize it is the heat of summer and it’s not an ideal time for baking. I like to bake after the sun goes down when it’s started cooling off and nobody else needs to be in the kitchen.
This cobbler tastes great both warm and cold. Some vanilla ice cream on top would really wow your crowd. Be sure to store the leftovers in the refrigerator — if you have any that is!
This could easily be made into a patriotic dessert with alternating rows of red and blue berries. Tag me in your photos if you make this!
