Want to use fresh fruit in your cobbler? Here’s what to look for in season. Bananas, apples and lemons are available year round. In the summer try blueberries, peaches, blackberries, plums and raspberries. Come fall, go for pecans, cranberries, figs or pears. Try chestnuts in your winter cobbler. And in the spring use apricots, strawberries or rhubarb.

If cherry isn’t really your jam, try Elizabeth Hunter’s Cherry-Glazed Pork Meatballs with any jam flavor to make it your own (we promise, Elizabeth won’t mind).
