Every summer I look forward to plum season. Tart and sweet, but totally delicious. My parents have a tree in their yard that yields an incredible amount of fruit. This is the same tree that I had so many adventures climbing in search of the best plum in the tree. Very fond memories!
Due to a combination of the lack of rain and the hot, hot summer, this was the first time plum season at the L family house was short and lacking. 
Imagine my dismay when I went home in July only to find a handful of plums for the picking. There'd be no jamming this year. With my limited amount of plums, I decided to make one of my all-time favorite comfort desserts - cobbler with a nice shortbready/biscuity topping.
Sweet, bubbly filling with a dense, buttery top… that's plum heaven.

Yum, that looks amazing! I can imagine dipping my spoon into one of these hot bubbly cobblers!
Love the bokeh on this shot.

[this is good] yum! no clue why but I have never thought of making individual cobblers. I am definitely going to give this a try, so I don’t eat an entire pan of cobbler

[this is good] That looks fantastic. Individual cobblers sounds like a great idea.

Thanks, Reesie! I can never resist dipping into one of those before they cool down completely… hence my burnt, yet happy, tongue.
Hi Elly, That’s exactly why I went for the individual-sized cobbler. My stomach knows no limits. I could eat the entire thing in one sitting. I think I still ate two of them though *guilty*
Thanks, Patricia!
Hi YeeHaw… they tasted yummy too! Waiting for your fabulous version now.
