Ingredients

Blueberry Mixture

4 cups fresh blueberries cleaned and stems removed (or frozen, defrosted blueberries drained of any liquid)
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup orange juice apple or pineapple juice can also be used

Cobbler Topping (see Note #1 & #2)

1/2 cup salted butter cold and cut into small cubes (about 1/4 inch)
3/4 cup sugar*
1 cup all purpose flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder*
Pinch of salt*
1 teaspoon vanilla

For Serving

Fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream optional

Instructions

Ingredients marked with * can be pre-measured and mixed at home.
In a non-reactive large bowl, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar and orange juice, tossing gently to mix and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the butter, 3/4 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and vanilla, then set aside.
Preheat a 12 inch cast iron Dutch oven to bake at 350 degrees (25 total coals = 17 top / 8 bottom). (see Note #3)
Pour the blueberry mixture into the pre-heated Dutch oven.
Drop the topping on top of the berries, about 1 tablespoon each and scatter them evenly over the berries.
Bake at 350 degrees covered until the berries are bubbly and the cobbler is cooked through … this will take approximately 40 – 50 minutes. Make sure you turn the oven and lid in opposite directions about 1/4 turn every 15 minutes or so for even baking.
Remove the Dutch oven from the coals, uncover it and let this yummy camping blueberry cobbler cool slightly before serving it.
This cobbler is really tasty as it is but you can also add a dollop of fresh whipped cream or scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it extra special.

Notes

Ingredients marked with * can be pre-measured and mixed at home.
This recipe is heavy on blueberries and light on topping. If you prefer a thicker topping, double the cobbler ingredients.
