Quick Blueberry Cobbler Recipe

Blueberry Cobbler brings back memories of summers past. The steaming, sweet blueberries with a thick cobbler crust piping hot and smothered in icecream or heavy cream straight from the carton. This is summer living at its best!

Things you'll need:
One jar Blueberry Pie Filling
1 to 2 jars Blueberries in Heavy Syrup
9x13 Baking Dish
Biscuit topping

1 First preheat oven to 400 degrees Ferenheight.
2 Second open your jar (or two cans) of blueberry pie filling. Empty into a 9x13 baking dish. Then, open the can of blueberries (use two for more fruit filling) drain half of the syrup into the sink and half of the syrup into the empty jar of blueberry pie filling. Place the blueberries into the baking dish. Put the top on the jar of pie filling and shake until the syrup from the can of blueberries has loosened all of the pie filling from the inside of the jar. Take off the top and put this liquid into the baking dish as well. Mix all together with a spoon. Place in oven.
3 Place the baking dish with the blueberry mix into the oven. The blueberries need to be heated to the temperature that the need to be cooked or else you will have a layer in the middle of the cobbler of unbaked biscuits between the blueberries and the biscuit mix. Heating the blueberries will be about 20-30 minutes.
4 Once the blueberries are in the oven to heat up. Prepare the topping. This can be as quick as flattening out an entire package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and placing on top of the heated blueberies. Or, use the Biscuit mix to create a biscuit dough. Remember to always add the liquids to the dry ingredients quickly and stir until just wet.
5 Take the hot blueberries out of the oven with oven mits and place on a heat proof surface. Lay out the Crescent rolls if you are using them. Or, drop the biscuit mix by spoonfuls until all of the areas are covered. It is OK for this to look lumpy, it adds to the rustic charm or this classic dessert.
6 Sprinkle the top of the blueberry cobbler with sugar (to glaze the top) and return to the oven until a knife plunged into the center comes out clean of any dough. Remove from oven and let it cool until it is comfortably warm. About an hour.
7 Serve in a bowl or plate with vanilla icecream or whipped cream. Or, as Grandmother used to do, pour heavy cream over the serving.
