What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Something to Savor: Spiced Pear Blueberry Cobbler! For a truly gourmet experience, this dessert is spot on. You may notice a very distinct flavor, but can’t quite put your finger on it. Not only is it different, it’s alluring and extraordinary. I’m here to tell you, the secret ingredient is cardamom. Not only is it a key ingredient in the spiced pear combination, but if you scroll down to the bottom, you’ll find it’s the grande finale and the perfect compliment for this exotic cobbler. Cardamom sprinkled on ice cream that has been drizzled with honey is practically like eating two desserts…in one. Bonus points!
SPICED PEAR BLUEBERRY COBBLER
Ingredients for Filling:
1 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 pears, peeled, cored, and chopped
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
In a shallow bowl, place blueberries. Sprinkle with corn starch. Turn to coat. Set aside. In a medium bowl, toss pears with orange marmalade, agave nectar, and lemon juice. Add ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon. Gently fold in blueberries.
Ingredients for Batter:
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cups almonds, sliced
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9″x13″ pan with nonstick oil. Set aside. Cream together sugar and butter. Mix flour, sea salt, and baking soda together. Add dry ingredients. Batter will be crumbly. Spread 3/4 batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Layer fruit filling, spreading to edges. Crumble remaining batter on top. Sprinkle with brown sugar and sliced almonds. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Serve warm, a la mode with vanilla bean ice cream drizzled with natural honey and sprinkled with cardamom.

I get it. As much as I love lemon “anything”, I realize that is something my husband will not help me eat. That’s when I share it with my friends. 🍃🍋
