CHERRY COBBLER (FROZEN CHERRIES)



Cherry Cobbler (Frozen Cherries) image

This recipe uses frozen cherries, so it's great to make all year round! This is a sweet cobbler you can reduce the sugar slightly for a less sweeter taste. Although I have never tried it, I imagine that you could also make this using frozen or fresh blueberries.
