Sweet N Tart Cherry Cobbler

pondfrogs's Note:

this is a very easy/quick cobbler that can be used with many other fruits such as berries or peaches. I especailly love the mixture of the tart canned cherries with the frozen sweet back cherries. I use bisquick or jiffy prepared baking mix. the sweet crust is good by itself or with ice cream or whipped topping.
