Why Cherry Cobbler Day?
The roots of any national holiday can be found in its history, so let us learn about how cherry cobblers came to be by studying their history. The delicious cherry cobbler first made its debut in the early 19th century.
The British were known for their delicious pies and puddings. When the Americans settled in the British colonies and missed their traditional suet puddings, they started baking cherry cobblers with a few simple ingredients, as they lacked suitable ingredients for their puddings and pies.
Although Cherry Cobbler began as a recipe with few ingredients, it has evolved through the years making it one of the most coveted desserts in America. The reasons for how this dessert got its name are uncertain. There are a few theories for the meaning behind the name. Some say it got its name from the word ‘cobeler’, which is the term used for wooden bowls. Yet few others believed that name was given because it resembles a cobblestone.
Although it’s two centuries old, people still enjoy this dessert with its many variations! It is inspired by both American and European cuisine. It can either be baked or steamed according to your convenience.
Cobblers can be prepared from plums, apricots, and apples as well! But the most loved of all is the Cherry Cobbler! The preparation may also include small qualities of spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, etc to add flavor.
Cherry cobbler isn’t very crisp as oatmeal is not used in the preparation. Cobblers can have both, a top and bottom crust sometimes. This dessert is not only delicious but has a lot of health benefits, so why wait to celebrate this day? Let us get to the celebration already!
