Strawberry Cobbler

Strawberry Cobbler in white serving dish

Pin It!

I’ve gotten so caught up in day-to-day life that I seem to have become more focused on the getting things done rather than taking the time to really SEE things.  You know what I mean – getting up, getting breakfast, getting ready for work, getting the kids to school, getting to work, getting your work done, getting home, getting dinner ready, getting the kids to bed, getting to bed yourself so you can get up and get to getting the next day. 

I’ve been so busy getting, that I failed to realize the last few baby things in our house were almost gone.  Sure the diapers, bottles, and cribs have been long gone, but realizing the baby monitors were still up made me see that the baby era is quickly fleeting.

It’s a hard pill to swallow realizing my baby is now 3 and referring to himself as a “big boy.”  He does “big boy” things like brushing his own teeth and putting his dirty clothes in the hamper.  It’s all made me realize we all need to work harder at SEEING and focus less on the getting things done. 

Time is passing us by quickly without any reverence for our lives.  It doesn’t pay attention to what we’ve got going on.  We’ve got to stop waiting for things to happen and just MAKE them happen.

Monday night we were sitting at the table eating dinner when a light rain came up.  Looking out into the rain, I realized that my kid had no idea what it was like to play in the rain.  I grabbed the opportunity to snatch him up and run out and play in the rain with him.  We played until the sun went down. 

I hope I can etch that time in my memory so that I can remember every detail – what he was wearing, the way he laughed, the look in his eyes.  I’m so glad I took the time to do that and to be a little silly with him. 

 

Serving Strawberry Cobbler

I know that I will have other opportunities like this, if I make time for them.  But I also know that as the years pass, those opportunities will grow fewer.  I just hope I have the wisdom to SEE these types of opportunities when they present themselves…

Y’all, this Strawberry Cobbler is probably my favorite cobbler recipe. It’s sweet, tart, and full of lots of the cakey-cobbler that’s my favorite part of any great cobbler.

And I’ll admit that it’s pretty sweet. That’s why it’s good to cut the sweet with a little vanilla ice cream. ~snickers~ Or better yet, serve it warm with a little heavy cream poured over it! So good!

Author Stacey Little | Southern Bite

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar, divided
  • 3/4 cup butter, divided
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.  Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries.
  • Combine strawberries, orange juice, and 1/2 cup of the white sugar in a medium pot and cook over medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour and the remaining 1/2 cup of white sugar. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut 1/2 cup of the butter into it. It will be dry and crumbly. Sprinkle it on top of the strawberries.
  • Soften the remaining 1/4 cup of butter and mix with 1 cup brown sugar. Drop into dollops on top of the flour mixture.
  • Bake for 55 minutes to an hour, or until golden, bubbly, and the cobbler is cooked through. Serve with vanilla ice cream or a generous pour of heavy cream.

    Can you use Bisquick for them to topping I have alot of that

      Yes, you should be able to replace the flour and 1/2 cup butter with the Bisquick. You’ll just need to still add the sugar to it.

    This looks terrific and when I make it, the only thing I am going to make is to make it in my crock pot like I do my fresh peach cobble in 3 hours. Why heat up the house? Thanks for sharing.

      You won’ really taste the orange juice. But you could use water.

    Can I use fresh blueberries rather than strawberries? A friend gave me a huge bag of blueberries she picked from her yard but wasn’t sure what I wanted to make. If so are there any other changes I would need make to the recipe? This recipe looks wonderful and would love to try it this weekend.

    My goodness Stacey this cobbler is amazing. My husband ate the hold thing with a big bowl of Blue bell homemade vanilla ice cream. He said it was better than his mama. Lol. She uses the pie crust with hers. Then I glided a picture to my daughters while it was still bubbling in the oven. They said “mouth watering” we enjoyed it sweet yet simple.

    Just a few hours ago, I was remembering where I had eaten my first strawberry cobbler, never having heard of it until that day. They are soooooo delicious.

    I still have hand picked summer fruit in the freezer and been wondering what I could do with it. This is a really great idea. Now frozen fruit is different from fresh because there is more water in it from freezing. But I don’t mind the extra syrup made from baking.

      Yep, but I’m with you. I think the extra syrup would be great!

    This strawberry cobbler looks delish! Only thing to make it a little better would be to use 1/2 strawberries and 1/2 rhubarb. Love a strawberry rhubarb pie but this would be much easier. Thanks for the recipes that use everyday ingredients.

          With the strawberries, it should be fine. But I’m not sure about the brown sugar topping. I know that they had Splenda Brown Sugar, but I’ve not sued it so I’m not exactly sure how it would work for the topping. If you try it, let me know how it turns out.

    Oh, my goodness this looks so good and I am not sure I have ever had a strawberry cobbler. I am going shopping on Friday and will make this for my own Mother’s Day treat this weekend.
    Also, just wanted to tell you that I use and use and use the neat bowls that I won last year. The ones with the measurements inside the bowl. Today I mixed bran muffins in one of them. In went the flour to the two cup level, then the bran to the 3 1/2 cup level (I’ve learned to eyeball that half cup mark) and was thinking again how lucky I felt when I learned I had won them and what fun when they arrived at my doorstep. so thank you again — for the bowls and all the neat recipes, too.

        Can you use Splenda in this recipe instead of real sugar? Can you use Swerve Brown Sugar instead of regular brown sugar?

    thanks for the strawberry cobbler recipe. I made this years ago.

    Do not get rid of your baby monitors. They are good to listen for washers and/or dryers being ready if you do are not close by. Very handy for me since mine are in the basement.

    Also handy if someone may be ill and you can hear them from another room. My daughter used it when I had my surgery. Worked great.

    Have a great day!!
