Waste Not Want Not – Turn Leftover Cherry Compote Into Cobbler

November 28, 2017 by Meemaw Leave a Comment

I hate to waste delicious food. I was left with lots of Spiced Tart Cherry and Pear Compote after Thanksgiving dinner, so I decided to turn that leftover jar of fruit into a warm dish of Cobbler. And that turned out to be a delicious decision.

I wasn’t sure if I needed to add any thickener to the sauce for the cobbler but I decided to simply pour the sauce into a baking dish I had sprayed with cooking spray. Then I topped it with a streusel topping and baked it for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Ta DAH!

It was absolutely perfect. And to gild the lily I topped each serving with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.

This “leftover” turned out to be one of my favorite cherry desserts…ever! 

Cobbler ROCKS.
