Plum Rhubarb Cobbler Recipe 45

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch square baking dish.
• In a saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch for filling. Stir in the rhubarb and water. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Dot with butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for topping. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl, mix together milk and egg. Add all at once to dry ingredients, stirring just to moisten. Drop by teaspoonfuls on top of the rhubarb mixture. Sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until crisp and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• In large bowl, stir together rhubarb, plums, granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of the Bisquick mix, the ginger, cinnamon and lime juice. Pour into ungreased 9-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish.
• In medium bowl, stir together remaining 1 1/2 cups Bisquick mix, the cereal, melted butter, turbinado sugar and grated lime peel until crumbly. Sprinkle over rhubarb-plum mixture.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and rhubarb-plum mixture is bubbly. Serve warm with ice cream.

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, plums, sugar, orange juice, water, and orange zest in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, inspect 6 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil.
• Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
• Lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Using the tip of a paring knife, scrape the pulp out of the vanilla bean halves and add the pulp to a 1 1/2 quart gratin or baking dish or 9-by-9-inch pan along with the scraped-out pods. (Alternatively, add the paste or extract to the pan.) Add the rhubarb, sugar, zest and salt, and toss well. Let sit at room temperature to macerate while preparing the biscuit dough.
• Make the biscuit dough: Put the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add cubed butter, then pulse until the mixture has formed lime bean-size pieces. Drizzle in 1/3 cup heavy cream and pulse until everything just clumps together, taking care not to overprocess. (To make the dough by hand, put the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add cubed butter, then mix it in with your hands, pinching and squeezing with your fingers - or use a pastry blender - until the largest pieces are the size of peas. Drizzle in 1/3 cup heavy cream a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.)
• Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently pat it together until it's a cohesive lump. Using a small ice cream scoop or a large spoon, form dough into 6 evenly sized balls. Slightly flatten dough balls into thick rounds. Cover rounds with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes (and up to 6 hours).
• Put the rhubarb in the oven and roast, stirring halfway through, until the rhubarb has softened and the liquid has formed a syrup, about 30 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and use tongs to remove the vanilla bean pods.
• Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees. Arrange biscuit rounds on top of the rhubarb, leaving space in between them. Brush biscuits with remaining tablespoon of heavy cream and sprinkle with Demerara sugar.
• Bake cobbler until biscuits are golden brown, about 25 to 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, with cream or ice cream, if you like.

Add to fruit mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to 8-inch square baking dish. BISCUIT TOPPING: In bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until in coarse crumbs. Using fork, stir in buttermilk to make soft, sticky dough. With spoon, drop in 9 evenly spaced mounds over fruit mixture. Bake on baking sheet in bottom third of 375°F oven until bubbly and topping is light golden and no longer doughy underneath, 55 to 60 minutes. VARIATION: PLUM AND RHUBARB COBBLER WITH TOASTED OAT BISCUIT TOPPING BISCUIT TOPPING: In skillet, toast 1/2 cup large-flake rolled oats over medium-low heat, stirring often, until lightly toasted, 5 to 7 minutes. Let oats cool. Replace 1/2 cup of the all-purpose flour with toasted oats. Substitute 1/4 cup packed brown sugar for the granulated sugar. Add 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
