Cobbler, mmmm cobbler

So, I haven't posted anything in forever, but it is time to get back with the program. This will also show up on face book, so if you get the chance to make this let me know how it turns out.

The crew went camping a couple of weeks ago and I made a Blackberry cobbler over briquettes. I made it again with peaches in the oven a couple of days ago and both time it turned out fantastic. So for your cobbler eating enjoyment:

1 stick butter

2 C flour
2 C sugar
1 + 1/2 C milk
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp rum extract
1 tsp vanilla extract

4 C fruit (black berries or peaches work well)
1/2 C sugar
1/4 water

Prep briquettes (about 30, 8-10 on bottom and 18-20 on top of dutch oven) or preheat oven to 375. Mix flour, 2 cups sugar, milk, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, rum and vanilla extracts together. Melt butter in 12 inch dutch oven. Mix fruit, 1/2 cup sugar and water together. Pour batter into the melted butter in the dutch over, then ladle the fruit mixture into the batter (don't stir it up or anything, just ladle it in). Cook it:

using briquettes: 45 minutes to 1 hour, every 10 minutes turn the bottom on the dutch 1/4 circle while turning the lid 1/4 circle the opposite direction. Check it after 45 minutes, I would start with 8 briquettes on the bottom and 18 on the top.

using oven: cook it for about an hour, check after 45 minutes or so. I cooked it for about an hour at 350 and the inside batter was still a little bit undercooked, so I put it back in for another 1/2 hour.

Enjoy the picture.
