Add fruit to a small loaf pan with sugar, salt and cornstarch. Mix well.
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients with softened butter by hand. dd water and form a dough, again by hand. Press dough to cover fruit mixture in pan.
Leave some room on the sides so the filling can boil out. Also, make sure your loaf pan is deep enough so that the filling doesn’t boil over. You might use a cookie sheet underneath if you’re not sure.
Bake at 375° for 30 minutes.

Notes & Options:

There are lots of ways to modify this cranberry cobbler to spice it up, down or just change it to suit your palate. You can try:

– Using fresh cranberries is always best but if you can’t then frozen work just as well.

– Add some nuts to the filling. I recommend walnut pieces or pecans.

– Blackberries are not always easy to find so feel free to substitute with strawberries, raspberries or even blueberries to counter the delicious but tart cranberry taste.

Make it Healthy – Replacing the sugar in the filling and topping with granulated sweetener will ensure your cobbler is sugar free and purely a starch food. Like eating fruit and crust – much healthier.
