YUMM!!!

I was able to purchase Cherries and Apricots from Colorado (by the case - I look forward to this every year!)
On my quest to find great apricot recipes, I came across this cobbler, and made it this afternoon.
It was to die for!!!!
So, so good!
I thought I'd share, in case you need a great summer dessert recipe. I doubled it, fed 4 adults and 5 kids, and had about 1/4 of the pan left over.
Here you go:
(My comments are in red)

Apricot Cherry Cobbler
8 fresh apricots (1 LB), sliced
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups pitted fresh cherries (1/2 LB)
1 tbsp flour
(you can easily use more fruit)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 tsp salt
1-1/2 tbsp plus 1 tsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp grated orange peel
5 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled
3/4 cup low-fat milk

Heat oven to 375°F.

Combine apricots and 1/3 cup sugar; set aside.
Combine cherries and 1 tbsp flour; set aside.
Combine dry ingredients; reserve 1 tsp sugar.
Stir in orange peel
Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add milk; stir just to moisten dry ingredients.
Combine fruit in buttered 1-1/2-quart baking dish; spoon batter over top.
Sprinkle with remaining sugar. (I omitted this step, and dusted the cobbler with powdered sugar before serving instead. Makes it look very pretty!)
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool slightly and serve.Makes 8 servings (For the double batch, I ended up baking it for 45 minutes)
