  • Makes 1 11 inch cobbler
Author Notes

A favorite vacation destination, Nantucket Island is a great place to visit friends, enjoy lobster and other local delights and relax. The houses all have names, usually maritime or island themed, like "Cross Rip", "House of Lords"; we rented one named "Suture Self" (a doctor, I surmise). I found an ancient community cookbook and this recipe is very loosely adapted from one in it. At one time cranberries were one of the important crops on the island. They are still harvested in September and October. —dymnyno

Tried this today, minus the almonds.

I'm not a fan of the *egginess* of the topping. When I think of a cobbler, I think of conventional crust (flour/flat/cold water basic), and the texture of this recipe's topping is a real departure from that. I think this is for people who want to experiment with something a little different than a standard cobbler.

Not my favorite.

Gee, thanks for trying something different from what you usually like and the constructive criticism.
