Strawberry Cobbler

From the beautiful book by Barbara Kingsolver, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.

The cobbler is a better summer pie because it is lighter and focuses more on how fresh summer fruit is. This is a very easy cobbler.

1 quart strawberries halved


1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup white unbleached pastry flour


1/2 cup rolled oats


1/2 cup brown sugar


3/4 teaspoon cinnamon


1/3 cup butter

Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare filling by mixing the halved strawberries and the honey in an ungreased pan or a deep pie plate. Set aside.

Prepare topping by mixing all the ingredients with your fingers until crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit mixture and bake at 350° for 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Wait about 7 minuets for the cobbler to cool and then serve with vanilla ice cream.
