The Inspiration

I grew up with cobblers in the summer. My mother made all kinds of cobblers depending on what fruit happened to be in season. We had peach cobbler, strawberry-rhubarb cobbler, and huckleberry cobbler.

 

My favorite was the huckleberry cobbler. My mother served her cobblers warm and with a dollop of ice-cream on top. There is something amazing that happens when melted ice-cream combines with huckleberry goodness and a biscuit type topping!

 

I created this recipe for low-carb-old-fashioned-blueberry-cobbler to bring back memories of my mother’s huckleberry cobbler, without the carbs. I used blueberries instead of huckleberries only because huckleberries are not widely available.

 

The topping is an altered version of the shortcake for my Low-Carb Strawberry Lemon Shortcake recipe. When I add some of our Sugar-Free Vanilla Ice Cream on top, the combination transports me back to my mother’s kitchen.

What is the difference between huckleberries and blueberries?

Huckleberries are closely related to blueberries. They look very similar, but are smaller and the flavor is a bit more concentrated than our domesticated blueberries. They grow wild in the mountains of Pennsylvania, where I grew up.

Picking huckleberries

Every August, we would hike up the mountain in search of the nearly black little berries. When we got to our favorite picking ground, we went to work picking the berries and dropping them into a coffee cans we carried with a string attached around our necks.  My mother always had a big coffee can and my brother and I had a smaller version.

 

I loved the sound the berries made as they plopped into the coffee can. The sounds started a a loud, hollow noise, but when the bottom or the can was covered with berries, the plopping noise was softened by the berries below. Of course, I popped as many berries into my mouth as I did into the can.

We moved from bush to bush, and one thing that struck me as I nibbled on the berries was how different the berries from each bush tasted. Clearly there were different varieties or flavor differences caused by subtle differences in growing conditions.

 

Some got more sun and some were more protected. While the berries all had that blueberry-like flavor, some bushes were sweeter, some had larger berries, and a few bushes had berries with a tart note to them. While the flavors had tiny differences, all of the berries were delicious.

 

When our cans were full, we trudged back down the mountain. When we got home, my mother went to work to use and preserve the precious berries before they went bad. She froze some of them and made jam with others. We had huckleberry pancakes and huckleberry muffins. Sometimes she served us bowls of them with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Can I use frozen blueberries in this cobbler?

Yes! I frequently make this cobbler in the winter and find that it is just as good when made with frozen blueberries.

 

What other fruits can I use to make a cobbler?

This cobbler can be made with raspberries, blackberries, or huckleberries. Stone fruits, such as peaches, nectarines and plums make a great cobbler, but are higher in carbohydrates than the berries.

How to serve blueberry cobbler

Blueberry cobbler can be served warm or cold. I prefer serving it warm or room temperature, but I’ve been known to go for it straight from the refrigerator. 

 

I typically serve blueberry cobbler with a spoon. Sometimes I serve it with the berries on the bottom and sometimes I put the biscuit topping on the bottom and spoon the blueberries over top.

 

I typically serve cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Alternatively, a good dollop of whipped cream or even a drizzle of heavy cream complement cobbler wonderfully.

How to store blueberry cobbler

If you don’t eat all of the cobbler in one sitting, no worries. Simply allow the cobbler to cool to room temperature, then cover it with plastic wrap or a lid if your container has one.

 

I prefer to store cobbler in the refrigerator for three days or less. In our house, we usually eat it up in less than 24 hours. 

 

This Low-Carb Old Fashioned Blueberry Cobbler makes a perfect ending to a summer meal. Use those blueberries while they are in season! Enjoy!
