Cherry cobbler and fresh mint ice cream

I understand that it is much easier to buy a few handfuls of cherries from the grocery store or farmer's market, but who doesn't enjoy pick-your-own stands that open during the summer months? And who cares if pitting the cherries by hand ruins your manicure? The end result is just...awesome.

Unfortunately, the now defunct Gourmet magazine makes it difficult to find most of their amazing recipes, but we are still on a search to find an online version of our favorite cobbler recipe. My mom and I believe that it was called, "Easy Peach Cobbler." If you find it, print it out and keep it in your favorite recipe book.


Honestly, how could you go wrong with a recipe that begins with a stick of butter, flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and other wonderful spices? Any variation of the mentioned ingredients should yield something delicious.

And it did! Try not to eat all the crispy, buttery sides before the cobbler cools down. (You can also burn your tongue -- I'm speaking in theory, of course, not from experience.)

For the leftovers, make some Fresh mint ice cream and add little chocolate chips to the recipe.
