National Cherry Cobbler Day

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – Thursday May 17th is national Cherry Cobbler Day. Cherry cobbler is a dessert made with a fruit filling and a biscuit dough crust. In the 19th century, pioneers in the American West were forced to adapt many recipes due to a lack of basic ingredients. The traditional pie evolved into the cobbler, which was often served as the main dish of the meal.

Mary Hostetter from the Blue Owl Sweet Shoppe shows off her classic cherry cobbler.  You can visit her to get a sample at: http://www.theblueowl.com/maryssweetshoppe/
