Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler

BethyB's Note:

I came up with this variation from three different recipes . . . it's a delicious cross between a pie and crisp . . . it doesn't turn out runny, so if you like runny cobblers, this is probably not your cup of tea =) enjoy!!!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 25 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 55 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 1.0 cobbler

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Topping

• 1 ½ cups flour
• 1 cup brown sugar , packed
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1 cup shortening or 1 cup margarine

Directions:

1. Cut strawberries and chop rhubarb; set aside.
2. Mix together eggs and vanilla; whisk til combined. Sift together remaining ingredients and add to eggs mixture. Pour over fruit and stir. Place fruit mixture into a greased 9"x13" glass (very important!) baking dish.

This was terrific. I love that it wasn't runny. It even makes kind of a crust on the bottom, which holds the pieces together even more. For my taste, there was a little too much topping relative to the rest of it, so next time I will scale that back just a tad. But a great recipe!

Great recipe! I'll definitely be making this one again!! I didn't change a thing-was perfect as is!

This was very good. It was not runny like other crisps I have made. It was a great change of pace. I cut the recipe in half and used an 8x8 pan and 2 eggs. I will make this again and try it with different fruit. Thanks!
