As followers of Christ, we often suffer not because we are out of God's will but because we are in it, not because we lack faith but because we have faith. We suffer not because we need to be filled with the Spirit but because we already are. Stronger faith does not mean less suffering, but more suffering means stronger faith. Far from calling our faith into question, our afflictions result in our becoming more and more like Christ Himself.

INGREDIENTS

1	lb	Ripe cherries; pitted
1	lb	Fresh; ripe peaches
1	c	Sugar
1	tb	Cinnamon
2	tb	Orange liquor
2	c	Sifted all-purpose flour
3	tb	Granulated sugar
2	ts	Baking powder
1/4	ts	Salt
1/2	c	Buttermilk
1/2	c	Heavy cream; plus
1	c	Heavy cream; for whipping
6	tb	Cold unsalted butter; cut small pieces
2	tb	Confectioners' sugar
1	ts	Vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash the fruit and cut the cherries
in half and slice the peaches. Remove the pit or stones from all the
fruit. Combine the fruit in a bowl with the sugar, cinnamon and
orange liquor and pour into a large 3- to 4-quart casserole or
souffle dish. In a mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking
powder, and salt. After the dry ingredients are thoroughly blended,
add the buttermilk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and cold butter in quick
succession, combining only briefly, to leave the mixture as lumpy as
possible. Pour this lumpy dough onto a lightly floured board and
flatten gently with a rolling pin into a shape approximately 1-inch
thick and just large enough to cover the top of the fruit in the dish
completely. Top the fruit with the dough and pull the edges towards
the dish so that the fruit is enclosed. Brush the dough with melted
butter, sprinkle the top with sugar and place the casserole into the
oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry top is nicely
browned. Whip the heavy cream with confectioners' sugar and vanilla
and serve with the cobbler. This recipe yields 6 to 8 portions.
