When I saw that cherries were free at Earth Fare this week (and fairly inexpensive just about everywhere . . .) I knew it was time to re-post our family's favorite Cherry Cobbler recipe! Sometimes it's difficult to find a recipe that calls for fresh cherries (and canned cherries can get so expensive!), so this is a great time to treat of year to treat your family to some fresh cobbler.
This cobbler should cost between $3-$4 for the entire pan which will easily serve eight happy helpings (even less if you score the cherries free at Earth Fare!) So, for just $.50 per serving, there's no reason not to bake some up at your house this week . . I promise, your family will be so glad you did!
