The first time I had this cobbler, it was served by a dear friend. She made it with the blueberries grown right next to her home. What makes this cobbler magical is that the cobbler is made upside down. The batter portion is put into the baking pan first. Next, the fruit is added. By the time the cobbler is baked, the crust has magically floated to the top.

*There are so many fruit combinations. You are limited to your imagine and what fruits are available. I've had it with hand-picked blackberries and fresh peach slices. Of course, blueberries alone were good. Then, there's the early summer combination of strawberries and rhubarb that is quite tasty. You may make this recipe with any of your favorite fresh or drained canned fruit or fruit combination. Fresh fruit is the best, but canned fruit may be used as well. If you do choose canned fruit, try and use the highest quality canned fruits. The better the quality, the better the cobbler.

Food Trivia: Cobblers date back before the Revolutionary War in the American colonies. They were thrifty as only the top crust was used, as apposed to a pie which has a top and a bottom crust. The fruit used was chosen from what was readily available. Crisps came about when flour was scarce and oats could be substituted.
