Ingredients
- •2 pints strawberries
- •3-4 stalks rhubarb
- •2 limes lime juice
- •3/4 cup sugar
- •2 tablespoons flour
- •1 teaspoon cinnamon
- •1 pinch salt
- •2 tablespoons butter
- •4 large refrigerated biscuits
- •1/4 cup brown sugar
Equipment
- • Campfire or grill
- • Dutch oven
- • Knife
- • Mixing spoon
Instructions
- 1Get a campfire going. You need a bed of hot coals to cook your cobbler on.
- 2Add the first seven ingredients to the dutch oven, and stir together to coat fruit.
- 3Cut butter into pats, and distribute along the top of the strawberry rhubarb mixture. Place biscuit halves around the top of strawberry rhubarb mixture until covered. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of biscuits, and cover with dutch oven lid, making sure there is a little space between the lid and the top of the biscuits. Take some strawberries out if necessary.
- 4Place dutch oven on bed of hot coals, making sure it is stable and even. Shovel coals onto the top of the lid to make an even thin layer.
- 5Open the lid and check the cobbler after 5 minutes, making sure not to get coals into the dutch oven. If one side is cooking faster than another, turn the oven. Check again every 5 minutes until the biscuits are golden and the fruit is bubbly.
- 6Serve one biscuit and a spoonful of fruit per person, hot.
Camp tips
- • Use any biscuit dough if you don't have refrigerated biscuits.
- • Adjust the amount of flour to thicken the cobbler as desired.
