Recipe - Cherry Or Peach Cobbler

5 cup Cherries or Peaches
fresh or canned
2 One half tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
1/3 cup Brown Sugar; packed
2 One half tablespoon Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
One fourth teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1 tablespoon Vanilla
*If Using Cherries Add
1 teaspoon Almond Extract

TOPPING
1 cup AllPurpose Flour
1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
One fourth teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoon Butter or Margarine
1/3 cup To One half cup Milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Drain cherries or peaches, reserving One fourth cup juice. Discard the remaining
juice. Combine fruit and lemon juice and set aside. In a saucepan, combine
sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir in reserved fruit juice.
Bring to a boil, stirring frequently about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and
add fruit and vanilla. If using cherries, stir in almond extract instead of
the vanilla. Pour into an ungreased 8 inch square baking pan.

For topping, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter
until crumbly. Stir in enough milk to moisten. Drop by tablespoonfuls over
fruit mixture. Bake at 450 for 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.

* We like doubling the dough recipe. If you do, bake at 400 degrees F.
for 20 to 25 minutes
