Kiwifruit Cobbler

This recipe includes the kiwifruit as a major part of the dish. In Chile, the kiwifruit is one of the year’s most bountiful crops, and as such has a great abundance of them. This leads to some dishes like this one being created. The Kiwifruit  Cobbler is a variation on the regular fruit cobbler, being similar in lots of ways execution-wise, but the ingredients are a little twisted, using kiwi for the fruit base and corn-based flour products to make the dough. It tastes very good, though, regardless of what ingredients are put into it.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

12 large kiwifruit, peeled and cut into 3 4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 2 package (3.2 oz) prepared corn muffin mix
1 tablespoon additional brown sugar
1 2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Vanilla ice cream or cream (optional)

Methods:

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
2. Place cubed kiwifruit in well-greased baking casserole. Combine brown sugar, lemon peel and flour and sprinkle on top of fruit. Mix lightly and place in hot oven for 25 minutes.
3. Prepare 1&Mac218;2 package muffin mix as directed. When fruit mixture is hot and bubbling, spoon on prepared mix. Mix the extra brown sugar and nutmeg and sprinkle on top. Return cobbler to oven for another 18 – 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and done.
4. Remove and allow to cool. Serve warm, with ice cream or cream, if desired.
