Cranberry Cobbler

cranberry-cobbler

Are you wondering what to do with that “buy one get one” bag of cranberries? Are you’re looking for a quick recipe and love the tart and tanginess of cranberries?  If you answered yes to either question then I’d give this recipe some serious consideration.  Besides the glorious reds of the cranberries the true beauty of this cobbler is the ease in which it comes together.

The Pioneer Woman called this Nantucket Cranberry Pie and when I did everyone kept asking how was it a pie. To save you the aggravation may I introduce you to cranberry cobbler?

Before we move on to the recipe I’d like to mention that I did think the “cobbler” part a tad too sweet.   On the other hand my parents, specifically my Dad thought the filling a little too tart.  Depending on how tart or sweet you like things I would adjust the amount of sugar used in the filling and/or the cobbler. 
Cranberry Cobbler
Ingredients
  • Butter, For Greasing
  • 2 cups (heaping) Cranberries
  • ¾ cups Pecans, Chopped (measure, Then Chop)
  • ⅔ cups Sugar, (Next time I would bump this up to 3/4)
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 cup Sugar, ( Next time I would cut this to 3/4)
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 2 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Almond Extract,  (I used vanilla) 
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar For Sprinkling (I used Turbinado)

Preparation Instructions
*Adapted from a recipe by Laurie Colwin*

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Generously butter a cake pan or pie pan. Add cranberries to the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle on chopped pecans, then sprinkle on 2/3 cup sugar.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, melted butter, eggs, almond extract, and salt. Stir gently to combine.

Pour batter slowly over the top in large “ribbons” in order to evenly cover the surface. Spread gently if necessary.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes (Mine was done in 40 minutes). 5 minutes before removing from oven, sprinkle surface with 1 tablespoon sugar for a little extra crunch.

Cut into wedges and serve with ice cream or freshly whipped cream.

Karen @ Mignardise said...

Did you know that most of the cranberry bogs are in Plymouth, where the pilgrims lived?
This looks wonderful. Enjoy - and have a very happy Thanksgiving!

Faith said...

Gorgeous cobbler, I'm defintely bookmarking it for Christmas! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

kimberleyblue said...

Wow, I wish we had that kind of dilemma when it came to cranberries...I would love a buy-1, get-1-free deal!

I've never made a cobbler, but have eaten plenty, and this sounds great to me! I love cranberry desserts, and it's nice to see one that isn't a muffin.

Unknown said...

That looks delicious. I'd so love to be like 'what do I do with all these cranberries?' We don't get them here :(

Kerstin said...

Gorgeous - this makes me want to go buy more cranberries :) I prefer tart over sweet too.

Delishhh said...

I saw this recipe on pioneer womans blog. Love it. It is on my to do list. I agree with you though that it should be a cobbler.

♥Sugar♥Plum♥Fairy♥ said...

Julie M. said...

That sounds so good Ingrid. And I agree, much more "cobblerlike" than pie.

I'm a lover of cobblers and this looks delicious! Your recipe looks so easy to make- love it!

Xiaolu @ 6 Bittersweets said...

Boy does this look good! I wish we'd had this instead of the canned cranberry sauce at the TG dinner table. I love tart fruits :). Happy holidays!

Crepes of Wrath said...

I hate it when people won't stop asking benign questions like "How is this a pie?" It's delicious, that's how, so just enjoy it! It's a pie like a pizza is a pie, geez! :) Yours looks delicious - I could definitely have a few helpings on my own. I hope that you had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Monica H said...

I guess that just confirms your theory that PW's dessert recipes are just too sweet for your liking. Looks great though...needs ice cream!

Leslie said...

I too snatched up the" buy one get one" cranberry deal!

Unknown said...

Looks beautiful darling! I'll take a slice please!

Heather S-G said...

LOL, can't people just accept the recipe for what it is. Sheesh. I think it sounds wonderful, I love the thought that it's tart instead of cloyingly sweet...and yes, I have a few bags of cranberries stashed in the freezer, so this may make an appearance in my kitchen, too :D
