Summer Quarter (Jul-Sep) 2024 Baking Cookbook of the Months: RUSTIC FRUIT DESSERTS

I’ve made the crumble, on P. 30, which has pecans. I’ve also made the cobbler on P. 23, which has no nuts. There is a crisp on P. 55, which I have not made, and calls for almonds.

I combined the best of all worlds this morning, and made the cobbler again, swapping sour cherries for the rhubarb. I added +1 t. of corn starch to account for the extra juice, and increased the crumble topping by 50%. Everything prorated to fit a 1-quart pan. Bingo! Winner! This is our favorite version yet, and the variation which I’ll keep in my notes.

(I think you could swap those pecans for pistachios, which I believe are your preference.)
