Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Grandma made this recipe every year when the cherries were ripe. It's so good warm with ice cream. I like to sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top of the cobbler topping before baking. You can use 1 (16-oz) can of canned cherries instead of fresh. Drain them and use drained juice in place of water called for in the recipe.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This cherry cobbler is easy and yummy. The fresh cherry fruit filling is sweet and tart. Canned cherries can be substituted, but when cherries are in season, we recommend taking the time to make the homemade filling. Rich, golden, and buttery, the crust is biscuit-like and so good. It has hints of cinnamon that add warmth to the cobbler.
