Cranberry Apple Cobbler
Gourmet December 1990
1 1/2 cups cranberries, picked over
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and sliced thin
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
a pinch of ground cloves
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
Vanilla ice cream as an accompaniment if desired
In a shallow 2-cup baking dish toss together the cranberries, the apple,
the zest, the brown sugar, the cinnamon, the cloves, and 1 tablespoon of the flour and dot
the top with the butter. In a bowl stir together the remaining
1/2 cup flour, the baking
powder, and the salt. Add the shortening, blend
the mixture until it resembles coarse
meal, and stir in the yogurt. (The
dough will be sticky.) Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto
the cranberry mixture, sprinkle it with the granulated sugar, and bake the cobbler in
the
middle of a preheated 400-degree F. oven for 30 minutes, or until
the top is golden. Serve the
cobbler with the ice cream. Serves 2.

1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger
Chocolate Pudding
1 3/4 cups whole milk
6 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened)
or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur

berry filling to sides
of bowl. Repeat layering 2
more times (reserve the remaining chocolate pudding for another use).
