It’s so good I wish I had never found it because I am convinced that I’ve slapped all of those pecans straight onto my sides (my rear end refuses to hold it).</p> <p>It’s easy to make, and easy to see how you can make just about any cobbler using this method.  If not ripe mangoes, then mashed berries, or bananas, or apples, or…  Just get your fruit to the point of softness and mix it with the syrup.  Put the crust on the bottom and on the top and you have a marvelous cobbler.</p> <p>Play and have fun with it.</p> <p><em>Click the “<strong>COBBLER</strong>” tag below to see the entire post - this is just the cover post.</em></p> <div class="post_caption"> <div><em><br/></em></div> </div>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33644678514http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33644678514Mon, 15 Oct 2012 09:11:23 -0700xlDesserts and TreatsCobblerMango CobblerRaw Food<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbxzbqFMb61ruom5ho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Ripe Mangoes.</strong></p>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33644374056http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33644374056Mon, 15 Oct 2012 09:04:38 -0700xsCobbler<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbxzaztPtw1ruom5ho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Soaked/Dried Pecans.</strong></p>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33644354275http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33644354275Mon, 15 Oct 2012 09:04:11 -0700xsCobbler<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbxza2UQvo1ruom5ho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Pitted Dates.</strong></p>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33644330196http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33644330196Mon, 15 Oct 2012 09:03:38 -0700xsCobbler<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbxyyxs2kB1ruom5ho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33644008443http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33644008443Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:56:00 -0700xlCobblerDemonstration<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbxy4qZZiT1ruom5ho1_r3_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Putting it all together.</strong></p> <p>Cut mangoes into cubes (Need about 6 cups).<br/>Process the crust and then the syrup.<br/>Mix the syrup and the mango together.<br/>Pick the Pan.<br/>Pack the bottom of the pan(s) with half the crust.<br/>Spoon in the mango.<br/>Sprinkle the remaining crust on top. </p>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33643222522http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33643222522Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:38:00 -0700CobblerChef Ani Phyo<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbxxxybKly1ruom5ho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33643048769http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33643048769Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:34:46 -0700xsCobblerChef Ani Phyo<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbxxwl236j1ruom5ho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Pick the Pan.  Family-style dig-in with a big pan.  Or… Individual portion sizes.</strong></p>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33643013942http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33643013942Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:33:56 -0700xlCobbler<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbxxsrHsWT1ruom5ho1_r2_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>The Crust…</strong></p>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33642917238http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33642917238Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:31:00 -0700xsCobbler<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbxxrz9cpN1ruom5ho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Other Ingredients…</strong></p>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33642897929http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33642897929Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:31:00 -0700xsCobbler<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbxxqxCTZ01ruom5ho1_r2_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>The Syrup…</strong></p>http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33642870144http://joanjackson.tumblr.com/post/33642870144Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:30:00 -0700xsCobbler
