I won't bore you with Grill & smoked chicken and those fixin's ! Todays just that day. BUT..... I am sitting here having a cup of Community "Columbian Dark Roast" coffee and enjoying some Fresh strawberry "Boy Scout" Cobbler. I cut it down, I knew I would waste alot if I did a CI Dutch oven. So I tweaked it. Think of it, sweet fresh berries, but not too sweet. A buttery cake (tastes like a waffle), with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream melting down on top of it.

We started getting them early this year, like before Christmas and I am guessing this was my last flat. I have canned jelly all season and froze berries and today I did processed jam. I think I am ready for them to peter out for awhile. LOL ! BUT peaches just started and the first pick of them is delightful.
 
Well, Kevin. There are people who don't eat meat. Someone wouldn't like it but they're nuts!
 
Looks delicious, Kevin!
You must have been in a fancier Scout Troop than me. We dumped canned pie filling in a dutch oven, covered it with canned biscuits and sprinkled
sugar on top, put it in the coals with coals on top and called it Cobbler.

Is good.
I am not a big sweet eater, but made many a Scout dessert. Always needed to double serving size to feed those ravenous boys.
 
Kevin, that looks delicious. :emoji_thumbsup: No cast iron needed!

You could but my recipe is tweaked down to a small cobbler, and I made it in the oven. Its basically and old Boy Scout recipe, normally cooked by the leaders on Saturday nites camp fire. This one above would not feed a patrol of young men, let alone a troop. LOL But would work for a family that has no more than two teenagers, maybe three. if one is a girl... LOL

That is exactly what this is, generally ours was made with Bisquick and canned peaches. The Dutch oven set on some coals with a few on top. I used to be able to tell you exactly how many coals on top to achieve different cooking temperatures, LOL This is easy like that with fresh berries and great butter waffle "biscuit". Its not hard to cook for young men on the second nite of camping.

I always laugh thinking of how something so simple as a hot sweet cobbler could pull a totally miserable rainy weekend camping back on track. How does that mailman thingie go? Neither rain nor hail nor sleep..... LOL
