Fresh Fruit Cobbler

This cobbler had kind of a shortbread crust. Normally I drain all juice off of the fruit. I did that the first time I made this and the crust was pretty dry. So, I suggest using juicy fruit or leaving the juice in the canned fruit. This would also be good if the topping were doubled. I got this from Country Door Mag.
