How to Make Fresh Blueberry Cobbler

Turn fresh blueberries into a delicious cobbler.

Fresh blueberry cobbler is simpler to make than blueberry pie, but it is every bit as tasty. Full of antioxidants, blueberries are good for you. Use store-bought blueberries or add to the fun by picking wild blueberries. This recipe makes 8 to 10 servings.

Things You'll Need

• Large bowl
• 6 cups fresh blueberries (3 pints)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 9-by-13 baking dish
• Medium bowl
• 1 cup flour
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2/3 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, gently combine 6 cups blueberries, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ¼ cup sugar and 3 tablespoons flour until they are evenly mixed. Turn the mixture into a greased 9-by-13 baking dish.

2. Mix the topping ingredients -- 1 cup flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg and 2/3 cup pecan nuts -- in a medium bowl. Cut in the ½ cup cold butter until the mixture is crumbly and fairly evenly combined. It should have a coarse consistency.

3. Spread the topping evenly over the blueberries. Put the blueberry cobbler in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. When done, the blueberries should be bubbly and the topping should be browned.

4. Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before eating.
