JUMP TO RECIPE

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!

    Great idea for using blackberries, we always have loads of them and never know what to make.

    Oddly, I’ve got frozen rhubarb and fresh blackberries at the moment.

      That would be fine too:-) I just tend to use frozen blackberries as it helps them keep their shape better.

    Totally agree with that statement ‘no bad foods, just bad diets’ – as long as the food is recognisable (not processed) of course. Lovely cobbler
