Peach Blueberry Cobbler

I'm so sad that my precious blueberries are pretty much out of season.  I will now post my last fresh blueberry recipe from this season in their honor.  Sorry it wasn't sooner.  Josh took his laptop from me because his work laptop crapped out and I've been too lazy to transfer all my food pics to our desktop.  He's also been working more and since I despise cooking for one, I haven't been trying many new recipes.  That, and the fact that it still hurts to eat solid food really deters me from making fun new food.  

This one is from a blogger called Smitten Kitchen.  I like some of her stuff but she uses an awful lot of veggies and I just don't know if I'm there yet.  I do take notice of her fruit recipes, though and I was very pleased with how this one turned out.   

To start, mix the fruit filling and put it in an oven-safe dish:
1 1/2 (about 4 cups) pounds peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into slices
1 pint blueberries, rinsed and dried
2/3 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Then mix the biscuit topping:
3/4 cup (3 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fine stone-ground cornmeal
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tbs cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk

Stir together the flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into the dry mixture with a food processor until pea-sized butter pieces form. Stir in buttermilk with a rubber spatula until a wet, tacky dough comes together.

Plop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the filling.  Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the biscuit topping is browned.

Let cool slightly and scoop it into bowls. Top with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, whatever naughty things you have hanging around that would taste good on a cobbler.

I cut into it too early so it was a bit runny.  This can all be fixed with some well-placed ice cream to mix with and scoop up the excess.  It can also be fixed by keeping your grubby paws off the thing for just a few more minutes but I just couldn't do it.  It smelled so good.  The cornmeal, the peaches, the blueberries...it was all too much and I had to dig in.
