Reviewed this for ZWT3. I loved this cobbler, it was easy to make and came out of the oven just as promised - bubbling and golden. The sugar had caramelised and made a fabulous sauce. The lime and ginger helped cut through the sweetness. I served it with fromage frais, a little fresh lime set and a mint sprig. Next time I make this I will add a bit more ginger and lime as I can't get enough of those flavours!
