Cherry Cobbler National Holiday 5 17 2012

Cherry Cobbler ( a southern comfort food) made from FRESH cherries not canned.  Informative videos on salted vs unsalted butter, sugar and flour. (Of course, commercial first) From our friends at Allrecipes.com.  Photo from this site also. Second photo from Pam in New Castle Pa (western PA) where I grew up.



Cherry Cobbler with canned cherries from canned cherry filling 
and other cobbler recipes from who else but Betty Crocker.

Lower fat recipe:  Like apples and cherries together?  Here is a recipe from Examiner.com.  Purchase cherries packed in water not in syrup for a less fattening dessert.
