Cherry Cobbler (Frozen Cherries)

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This recipe uses frozen cherries, so it's great to make all year round! This is a sweet cobbler you can reduce the sugar slightly for a less sweeter taste. Although I have never tried it, I imagine that you could also make this using frozen or fresh blueberries."

This recipe was just perfect. I used frozen cherries and did cook the filling until it was thick and bubbling before I added the biscuit topping. I did add a little splash of almond extract as well. Super yummy and will make again. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Turned out delicious. Used a large bag of frozen cherries and reduced them a little.

Four cups of cherries was not enough so I added frozen strawberries to pie plate. Poured cooked cherries over the strawberries. Instead of making the topping, I thawed a pie crust and butter both sides and randomly placed over the fruit. After baking for 25 minutes, I sprinkled a little sugar over the crust and baked for 5-7 minutes longer. Family loved it.

Delicious!!! Turned out perfect with a beautiful golden topping and gooey filling.

First of all, using frozen cherries will create a puddle in the dish because they are frozen to begin with. Baked exactly as directed and the topping was done on the top, nice golden brown and raw underneath. Had to throw entire dish away because it was a raw gloppy mess under the topping.
