Homegrown Strawberries!!

What a nice dilemna! Everyday a new locally grown fruit or vegetable to eat. These lucious berries are almost too pretty to eat. But homegrown berries have made a nice trade-off. In exchange for being more perishable than those fruits that are made to export---these beauties are soft and full of sweetness. And they HAVE to be used within the day so-----they have been baked into a beautiful Strawberry Cobbler. This was my Aunt Mimi's recipe. She didn't cook often, so when she raved about this recipe--I knew it was a keeper. So I will share it with you! This recipe is about as easy as it gets. Mix it in one bowl and all you need to do is add whipped cream or ice cream to the top. You can use any fruit but strawberries are my favorite.
