INSTRUCTIONS
Any kind of fruit or berries can be used. My favorite is black or
boysenberries, freshly picked. Wash the berries in cold water. Oil the pot
and put about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom. Sweeten berries to taste
then sweeten a little more. Some berries taste sweet enough fresh off the
vine but in pies or cobblers they come out too tart, so be generous with
sweeteners. Pour fruit in pot. I usually use a yellow cake mix, but I like
a lemon or butterscotch for variety. Mix the cake mix according to
directions, stirring in a generous amount of walnuts. Since moving to
Hurricane, pecans have taken the place of walnuts at times. Spread evenly
over fruit. Ken says to be a dutch oven cook you have to get your fingers
into it, so spread batter with fingers if you want to be professional!
Anyway, you want a little of your character in your food. Cook with low
heat on the bottom, higher on top. Check often.
