I made this for the group on our recent camping trip, and it was a HUGE hit!  It is basically my great-grandmother’s cobbler recipe, but modified for cooking in a dutch oven.  Because of the nature of a dutch oven, you don’t need to prepare the fruit to be like pie filling – saving a pretty large step when using berries!  The heat naturally breaks them down and makes them delicious!

This recipe assumes a few things:

a – you are going to have a campfire, or at least a fire with hot coals
b – you have a 12″ dutch oven

Outside of that, if you have the ingredients, you are all set!

6+ cups fresh blueberries (or fruit of your choice)
2 cups self-rising flour (bisquick works well)
1 cup evaporated cane sugar
2 eggs
1 stick butter, very soft – melted even

Begin heating your dutch oven by setting it near the fire (I just set it inside of the fire ring, but away from the flames).  If it’s not well seasoned, toss 1 Tbsp of butter in to melt in the bottom.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, eggs and butter.  Stir until moist.

Dump the fruit into the bottom of the seasoned dutch oven.  Using your fingers or 2 forks, spread out the batter on top of the berries.

Put on the lid, and cook at approx. 350F for about 30-40 minutes.  I use 7-8 coals underneath & 12 coals on the lid.

MAKE SURE you are rotating the oven every 10-15 minutes – the pot clockwise & the lid counter-clockwise.

It’s done when the crust is an even brown.  Scoop out into bowls and enjoy!  If you happen to have ice cream, that truly makes it!
