Family favorite berry recipe

With strawberry picking season around the corner which is followed by sour cherries then raspberries and blueberries, I thought I'd post one of my family's new favorite berry recipe (we tried it last year after picking a bunch of sour cherries - which is in season about a week after strawberry season starts).  

CHERRY BERRY COBBLER 
Recipe
1 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons corn starch
3 cups sour cherries (pits removed)
1 cup strawberries (or you can use blueberries)

Add all above ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it bubbles and thickens then transfer to baking dish.

In a separate bowl, add the following ingredients and mix just until combined.

3 Tablespoons shortening
1 cup flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the warm cherries and then bake at 400 degrees for about 15-18 minutes. We'd love some new recipes for this year's season if you want to share them with us!
