I had $2 off coupons for assorted berries I had bought. Due to an ice storm, I am stuck inside for several days. I have limited ways to use them and don't want them to go bad, so this cobbler was born, and we love our new arrival!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Berry cobblers taste like pure summer, and this cobbler is simply delicious. A mixture of assorted fresh summer berries cooks down into a sweet, thick sauce as the berries burst. The sweet biscuit topping is slightly sugary and crisp, while inside is buttery and tender. We used a mixture of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. This was fantastic as is, but it was even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
