TWD: Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler


This weeks Tuesdays with Dorie challenge was Cherry Rhubarb cobbler. I was lucky enough to stumble upon some rhubarb here in New Jersey while visiting a farmers market. I have never made anything with rhubarb so this recipe was exciting. I know my husband likes his food quite sweet so I was a little nervous that he might not be in love with this cobbler. I did wind up adding a little extra sugar to the filling; I was pouring the sugar into the measuring cup and the lid for the sugar container popped off and extra sugar poured into the bowl. I thinked it worked out to my advantage and worked well for my husband with a serious sweet tooth. The cobbler topping was interesting and consisted of half white flour half wheat flour. It baked up beautifully and was a nice golden brown color. My husband gobbled this up when he came home from work late at 11:30 pm.

Please check out the other cobblers on the TWD website !

I think it was definitely to your benefit to have extra sugar! I thought it was way too tart but I'm anxious to make it again. Hopefully with the extra sugar it'll turn out as great as yours looks (and tasted).

Looks wonderful! I think your sugar jar did you a favor as a number of other folks said it was too sour.
