Ingredients
- Rhubarb
- 4 cups, chopped
- Blueberries
- 2 cups, fresh or frozen
- Granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups, divided
- Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- All-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups
- Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, cold and cubed
- Milk
- 3/4 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, blueberries, 1 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently mix until the fruit is well coated.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure even cooking.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix, as this will ensure a tender topping.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the fruit mixture, ensuring it covers the fruit but allows some peeking through for a rustic look.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the cobbler topping is golden brown and set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken slightly.
- Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- For a touch of spice, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the fruit mixture.
- If using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw; just add them directly to the mixture.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruits like strawberries or peaches for a different flavor profile.
