Vegan Cherry Cobbler

Last Thanksgiving my sister made us a raw cherry cobbler that was out of this world. Today I saw a jar of sour cherries at the supermarket and bought it, hoping that I could replicate the cobbler at home. What I ended up with isn’t quite what Jenn served us, since hers used dates and I didn’t have any, but it is truly good and worth sharing.
This is recipe not raw food, because the cherries are heat treated when they are jarred. If you wanted to be properly raw, you would use frozen cherries, thawed.
Vegan Cherry Cobbler
serves 4
crumb layer
1 cup coconut
1 cup mixed walnuts and almonds
3 prunes
4 dried apricots
Process everything until crumbly. Set aside.
fruit layer
2 cups jarred sour cherries, drained very well
2 prunes
6 dried apricots
dash of cinnamon
dash of cardamom
honey or sugar (optional)
Process everything until smooth or only slightly lumpy. Sour cherries can be a bit too sour, so sweeten to taste with honey or sugar.
Layer the fruit and crumb mixtures into clear glasses for a fancy individual presentation, or make a big bowl for family style pig-out.
