Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler

Submitted by Paddles

"This is a favorite of our family and the kids don't do many desserts!!! (I am considering having DNA run on them to make sure they are "my" children!!!) My mother-in-law shared this with me last year. We grow our own rhubarb and this is the only way I can get anyone else to eat someone with me. I will cut and freeze the rhubarb to have fresh on hand when the cherries come on. Then, I will pit and freeze cherries to use later after the season is over."

I'm not a big fan of rhubarb but the addition of the cherries made a believer out of me and now I can say I like rhubarb. :) I used cherry pie filling as I didn't have fresh on hand. The next time (and there will be a next time), I will use fresh cherries. Thanks Paddles, for showing me the light.
