Bourbon Cherry Cobbler

July 10th, 2009 · 130 Comments

old wye mill mdA Southern Cherry Cobbler Recipe: The sour cherries we bought from Toigo last weekend went into a July 4th cobbler. I started with a recipe from 101 Cookbooks, the wonderful blog whose author is also responsible for the “Super Natural Recipe Search” button you may have noticed over on my left sidebar. I made a few additions — bourbon and corn meal — for a Southern twist. And the boy gets the credit for the blueberry polka dots, his contribution to create the requisite red, white and blue color scheme.

The corn meal, which is actual organic, local corn meal grown on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and milled once a month at the Historic Wye Mill, is a fairly course grind so I pulsed it in a food processor with a pinch of tapioca starch to make more of a corn flour. I found the bourbon flavor more pronounced the next day, and you can certainly omit the bourbon for a more sober dessert.

Recipe: Bourbon Cherry Cobbler
adapted from 101 Cookbooks

toigo sour cherries

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups sour cherries, pitted
  • 1/4 cup raw sugar
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch (or organic corn starch)
  • 1/3 cup corn meal, finely ground
  • 3/4 cup unbleached flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup raw sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup organic buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon fair-trade bourbon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons organic butter, melted and cooled

Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter a 9-inch pie pan and set aside. Gently toss together cherries, bourbon, starch and sugar in a bowl and set aside. Whisk together remaining dry ingredients. Separately, gently beat egg and combine with vanilla, buttermilk and butter. Stir into dry ingredients until just combined. Pour cherries into pie pan and dot with dollops of batter by the tablespoon, leaving a few gaps in between. (Optional, dot topping with blueberries or additional cherries.) Bake 20-22 minutes, until cherry liquid bubbles up and topping is lightly golden. Enjoy!

    Josh M., Nick V., Chris and Marcus have clearly been the four favorites throughout this whole season of ‘The Bachelorette,’ so we were FINALLY guaranteed some drama with Andi being forced to send one of them home on July 7. But as it turned out, that wasn’t even the most emotional part of the episode.
    Cody said it himself in his epic, semi-psychotic rant — making the final four and bringing Andi Dorfman home to meet your family is the goal of any contestant on The Bachelorette. The hometown dates are where the bachelors can really inch closer to getting engaged, but they can just as easily be a dealbreaker. Does Andi hate the vast nothingness of Chris‘ home state, Iowa? Did she finally realize that Josh M. actually peaked in high school?

    The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me
    as much as this one. I mean, I do know it was my choice to learn, but I actually thought
    youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you possibly
    can repair if you happen to werent too busy looking for attention.

    If you want to get perfectly geometric nail art, you should involve something as simple as cut-up Scotch tape. I love the simplicity of these designs and how you can customize them using different colors for different times of the year, like neon for summer. All you need is some polish and scotch tape!

    Cut up all your tape up before painting your nails. After applying your basecoat and letting it dry, paint on your base color. Then position the tape on your nail and apply the next color.Remove the tape while the polish is still wet.Remember to do one nail at a time.

    Piercings have been very popular for many centuries the way that they have even turned into a real art branch. People have been piercing various parts of their bodies, yet ear piercing has always been the most popular one among them.

    In their turn, ear piercings can be classified into different categories and they all carry a certain meaning, actually. Ear piercings have gained extra popularity thanks to world-famous celebrities, who always try to show the most unique ways of wearing ear piercings.

    The most popular type of ear piercing is definitely the one called helix, which represents wearing piercings in the upper ear, towards the rim. This gives the wearer the opportunity to wear as many piercings on one ear, as he or she desires. On the other hand, lobe piercing is the most common style, when someone wears an earring on the lobe, at the bottom of the ear.

    comes in during the film. The rally and passing of Resolution 1010 pave the way for
    proposing House Bill 1286, which will double the incentives offered by the state to attract
