Berry cobbler
An easy to make, comforting dessert that spotlights summer berries. We used a combination of blueberries, honeysuckle (haskap) and Saskatoon berries, but feel free to use just one or a combination of berries of your choice. You’ll also not regret adding vanilla and a pinch of lemon zest!
