Rum Raisin Cobbler Recipes

Steps:

• Combine raisins and rum in small bowl. Cover; let stand at room temperature 2 hours. Drain raisins, reserving 6 tablespoons rum. Combine in same bowl.
• Whisk egg yolks and sugar in large bowl until blended. Bring milk and whipping cream to boil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk into yolk mixture. Return mixture to saucepan; stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens, about 15 minutes (do not boil). Strain custard into bowl. Cool. Add raisin mixture to custard. Refrigerate until cold.
• Transfer custard to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Freeze ice cream in covered container until firm, about 4 hours. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a nine-inch round baking dish.
• Mix brown sugar with cornstarch in a large bowl. Fold in pears and raisins, the melted butter and nutmeg. Spoon mixture into baking dish.
• Mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture has a mealy texture. Lightly stir in the milk to form a firm but tender dough.
• Roll out dough on a floured board and cut it into strips one-inch wide. Criss-cross the strips over the fruit. Sprinkle the top with granulated sugar.
• Bake about 40 minutes, until the crust has browned and the filling bubbles. Serve while still warm, with whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, just cover raisins with water and simmer for a few minutes. Add dark rum, stir. Turn heat off.
• Spray an oven-proof dish with cooking spray. Place apples into dish and sprinkle castor sugar on top.
• Pour rum and raisin mixture over the top and mix. I use clean hands.
• Cook in a 200C oven for 30 minutes.
• To prepare the cobbler mix the flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, bi-carb soda and salt place in a food processor & blend for 30 seconds and pour into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add vanilla essence and buttermilk. Combine.
• Spray six ramekin dishes with cooking spray, divide the rum and raisin mix and top each with the cobbler mix.
• Place ramekins on a tray and cook in the oven at 200C for 20 minutes or until browned.
• Serve warm with cream if desired.

Steps:

• 1. For Filling: Place apples in a large saucepan. Add apple juice, white and brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves (or Allspice). Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• 2. Combine cornstarch with lemon juice; add to saucepan. Bring to boil again while stirring. Cook and stir until thickened.
• 3. Remove from heat; stir in raisins (do not drain!) and almond extract. Allow to cool; stirring occasionally. When cool, pour into 9-10 inch high side baking dish. (I used deep dish pie plate).
• 4. For crust: In medium bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and mix well. Add flour and stir until incorporated. Batter will be thick. Spoon over filling and smooth out. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Delicious hot or cold! Serve w/ or w/out ice cream or if feeling particularly decadent: Serve with Honey Butter Rum Sauce (also posted) if you dare!
