Dorie's original recipe calls for frozen berries. I had some frozen and some fresh, so I did a mix. I added ginger and cinnamon to the crust. I sprinkled coarse sugar on the crust before baking. It was thumbs up all around. I made a half recipe and baked it in two little loaf pans.
It's hard to tell, but that's a 4 x 6 pan. The crust looks golden brown and it smelled wonderful. While it was a little thick, it was tasty enough that it didn't bother us. The berries cooked up nicely, and the juice was thick and syrupy. It was nice to be able to swish the crust around and pick up more of the berry juices.
We did enjoy it. I'm not sure that I'm rushing out to make it again, though. I have another recipe that I like better for for frozen berries. Though, in the middle of winter, this might be a welcome touch of summer.

Ginger and cinnamon will never lead you wrong. Yum.
ginger sounds great for the crust! it looks yummy:)
Oh, I like your rectangular pan...that would be very easy to cut pieces doing it that way...mine were flopping all over the place with a round/pie shape.
Looks tasty.
Ginger sounds wonderful in this. Beautiful job.
The ginger would be great and loaves of cobbler? too cute.
that looks yummy. Ginger was a great idea
Really great job...why didn't I use ginger? Why???
Nice pictures and pretty cobbler!
The loaf pans were such a good idea. Nice.

That crust looks beautiful! I wouldn't have thought to bake it in a loaf pan, very creative!

it does look wonderful! glad you enjoyed it.
Oh wow...ginger and cinnamon in the crust? YUM! What a great idea!
Great looking cobbler! I wish I had made 2 smaller ones. Then, I could have frozen one for later!
I felt the same way about this recipe. It was good, but I've found better cobbler recipes that I would reach for first.
Love your loaf pan idea! I hope you'll post your "other recipe" for frozen berries sometime.
Your cobbler looks absolutely delicious! BTW, I am a scraper too. In fact, I have the most fun finding colorful spatulas to have in my kitchen. =). I have just discovered that I really enjoy the flavor of ginger and I thought your idea of adding ginger to be ingenious. =D
the addition of ginger sounds nice. i thought the crust was a bit thick, too. looks delicious!
