SUPER FRUIT COBBLER

Cherries, commonly enjoyed year-round as dried and frozen cherries and cherry juice, can add antioxidant benefits, rich RED color and sweet-tart taste to holiday fare. In fact, cherries’ RED color comes from powerful antioxidant compounds called anthocyanins that studies suggest may reduce inflammation and risk factors for heart disease.


Ingredients
• 2 cups frozen pitted tart cherries, thawed
• 1 (12 ounce) bag frozen mixed berries, thawed
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, divided
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup reduced fat buttermilk baking mix
• 1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
• 3 tablespoons low fat milk

 
Directions
Heat oven to 375°F. Combine cherries, mixed berries, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well. Spoon mixture into an 8- or 9-inch baking dish.

Combine baking mix, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, sour cream and milk; mix well to form a stiff batter. Drop batter over cherry mixture forming 6 mounds. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly and cobbler topping is golden brown. Let stand 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 6 servings.

Tip: to save on cleanup time thaw and mix the berries in a baking dish.
