Ingredients

• 2.5 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
• 5 cups fresh or frozen pitted sweet cherries
• 0.67 cup granulated sugar
• 3 Tbsp cornstarch
• 2 Tbsp orange juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0 salt
• 1.5 cups AP flour
• 0.33 cup brown sugar
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp fresh orange zest
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup buttermilk

• 0 coarse sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the cranberries, cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, orange juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the fruit is evenly coated.
3. Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, orange zest, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
5. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Pour the cold buttermilk into the flour and butter mixture. Stir until just combined.
7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the fruit filling in the baking dish.
8. Brush the top of the biscuit dough with additional buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
9. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
