Kim's Fruit Cobbler

The above cobbler is made with a combination of blackberries, raspberries and blueberries.
I make this cobbler with all kinds of fruit: cherries, peaches or apricots etc

FRUIT MIXTURE:
Fruit – about a quart of fresh or frozen or drained canned fruit
Sugar – to taste, I usually add 1 – 1½ cups depending on sweetness of fruit
Water - small amount @ ½ cup don’t add too much because many kinds of fruit will become juicy when heated. You don’t want it to be too soupy
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 T cornstarch

In saucepan place fruit, sugar, salt, vanilla and water and bring just to a boil. Do not overcook. When bubbly add 2+ T. cornstarch mixed with small amount of water and cook only until thickened. For some fruit you might need more thickening agent.
Pour hot into 9 x 12 ceramic or glass baking dish

BATTER:
· 1 ½ cup flour
· 2 teaspoons baking powder
· ½ teaspoon salt
· 1/3 cup melted butter
· 2/3 cup sugar
· 1 egg
· ¾ cup milk
· 1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix batter thoroughly and pour evenly over hot fruit mixture in baking pan

TOPPING:
· Mix 2 Tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cornstarch in small bowl
· Sprinkle on top of batter
· Carefully pour 1/3 cup of water over sugar and cornstarch mix, just to moisten. This kind of gives it a glaze when baking

Bake 350
30 – 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream

YUM!
