Best Nathalie Duprees Liberty Cobbler Recipes

NATHALIE DUPREE'S LIBERTY COBBLER

Steps:

• Pour sugar over strawberries and mix well. Set aside and let macerate for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put butter in a 9-by-13-inch ovenproof serving dish, and place in the oven to melt.
• Mix together flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl, and stir in milk and sugar to make a batter.
• Remove dish with melted butter from the oven, and pour in the batter.
• Arrange drained strawberries over the batter in a single layer, then drizzle the juices from the berries on top.
• Return the dish to the oven. Bake until the batter is browned and has risen up and around the fruit, approximately 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the blueberry sauce. Rinse and pick over blueberries. Combine water and sugar in a saucepan, and heat to the boiling point. Place 1 pint of blueberries in the bowl of a food processor. Process, turning the machine on and off about 4 times, until berries are coarsely pureed. Add to sugar syrup with lemon juice, and bring back to a boil. Cook about 2 minutes more. Add remaining pint of whole berries, reserving a few for decoration.
• Serve blueberry sauce over the warm cobbler, and top with whipped cream and reserved berries.
