Blueberry Peach Cobbler Recipe
This is an easy dessert that lets us indulge in two delicious summer fruits – peaches and blueberries. The two combine beautifully in this delicious cobbler, or pudding cake as some might call it. Eaten right out of the oven drizzled with fresh cream, every bite tastes like a warm August afternoon.
The recipe can be adapted for any fruit or fruit combination and of course, you can serve it with ice cream too.

Is it possible to use less butter?
Ingredients are so expensive now.

Hi Gerry — Yum, great idea!
Caitlyn
Is there anything that could be used as a substitute for the cornstarch?
Thanks and Many Blessings,
Caitlyn
Crosby Molasses
Hi Caitlyn, Since the cornstarch is just used to thicken the mixture you could substitute arrowroot powder or flour.

I made the cobbler, but found it too heavy for a summer dessert. Also the molasses overpowered the fruit. Sounded better than it tastes.
