Fresh Cherry Crisp

We received 3 pounds of pitted pie cherries and 4 pounds of rhubarb in our fruit share this week. So, Erica made cherry cobbler tonight.

Ingredients

• 4 cups pitted sour cherries
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup shortening

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine cherries, 1 1/2 cups white sugar, and 4 tablespoons flour. Pour into 9x13 inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, oats, and brown sugar. Cut in butter and shortening until crumbly. Sprinkle over cherries.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.
