MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07

      Title: Cherry-and-Apricot Cobbler
 Categories: Desserts, Fruits
   Servings: 10

MMMMM---------------------BUTTERMILK BISCUIT CRUST--------------------------
      3 c  Self-rising cake flour
    3/4 c  Unsalted butter
  1 1/4 c  Buttermilk

MMMMM-----------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
      3 lb Fresh apricots; rinsed,
           -halved, pitted and sliced
  1 1/2 lb Fresh cherries
           - sour if possible,
           - rinsed and pitted
    3/4 c  Sugar
      3 tb Butter
    1/2 ts Almond extract

MMMMM--------------------------FOR FINISHING-------------------------------
           Buttermilk
           Sugar

  PREHEAT OVEN TO 450F.

  For the crust: Place flour in a bowl and rub in butter until fine and
  mealy. Do not allow to become pasty. Stir in 1 cup of the buttermilk,
  adding the remainder if necessary. Press dough together on a floured
  surface, wrap in plastic wrap and allow to rest while preparing filling.

  FOR THE FILLING: Combine apricots and cherries in a bowl and toss with
  sugar. Pour into a large gratin dish or other shallow baking dish. Dot with
  butter and sprinkle evenly with the almond extract. Press the dough out on
  a floured surface until roughly the size of the baking dish. Lift dough
  onto filling and cut several vent holes in top. Brush with buttermilk and
  sprinkle with sugar. Bake the cobbler about 20 minutes, until crust is well
  colored and filling is bubbling. Cool slightly on a rack and serve warm or
  at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
