Warm cherry cobbler is the best, and if it’s easy to prepare, that’s even better. This is a recipe I found in Shirley Herd’s The Cruising Cook, a cook book designed for people preparing meals while living on board a boat. We owned a sailboat for many years, but ours didn’t come with an oven, so when I prepared this recipe I made it at home. It really is easy and delicious, with only three ingredients. Recently, while organizing our book shelves, I spotted the old cook book and was reminded of this dessert. I’m sure you will enjoy this slightly different version of the standard cherry cobbler.
