TWD: Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler

Cherry-Rhubarb Cobbler

Well it's Tuesday again, and after a brief vacation, I am back on the baking wagon. This weeks episode is being brought to you by
Amanda of Like Sprinkles on a Cupcake. Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler is what she chose, and what a great choice it was! Now I will be the first to admit that I had no idea that rhubarb is a vegetable much less where to get it. So I went to the market and stood right in front of it and asked the greengrocer, "Where can I find the rhubarb?" He looked at me kind of funny and handed me a stalk. Duh! Sometimes I can be so dense.

Rhubarb

This recipe was so easy to put together, and I think that it must be healthy too! The filling is made with a vegetable (see above photo), cherry, a little sugar, cornstarch, and ginger.

Cherry-rhubarb filling

The biscuit topping has whole wheat flour in it! It was amazing. Here it is pre baked...

And fresh from the oven...

Biscuit topping

Mmm, the filling was bubbling up through the topping. It smelled heavenly. We waited the required 20 minutes and dug in. I did make everyone wait another minute or two to snap some photos.

Oh cobbler

Oh, I have those moments all the time. Glad I'm not the only one making a fool out of myself at the grocery store... not that I'm happy you embarrassed yourself, but I'm sure you get what I mean.

I love that way your topping looks! Using a cookie cutter was a great idea.
