Rhubarb & Blackberry Spiral Cobbler – the perfect comfort pudding where the cobbler topping is enriched with marzipan and cinnamon.
Today I’m sharing Rhubarb & Blackberry Spiral Cobbler!
Sometimes I see a recipe and I just want to tweak it to my own taste. This happened recently when I saw a Rhubarb Spiral Cobbler (with ginger) in my copy of The Ultimate Healthy Eating Cookbook (Index 1999). With some bargain rhubarb and a booty of frozen blackberries in the freezer (foraged of course) I set about taking out the ginger from the recipe and adding grated marzipan and cinnamon amongst other changes.
I seem to be a bit of a marzipan addict, I know it can be a divisive ingredient, you either love it or your hate it! I love it, so if I can find an excuse to use it I will!
This comforting, lush pudding is ideal as we head towards autumn, the nights draw in and the weather gets cooler. Not everyone in my family shares my enthusiasm for blackberries or marzipan so my Rhubarb & Blackberry Spiral Cobbler was a bit of selfish indulgence!
