Ingredients

3 cups frozen blackberries (about 15 ounces; do not thaw)

1 1/2 large pears, halved, cored, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)

2/3 cup plus 3/4 cup sugar

3 tablespoons dry red wine

2 teaspoons finely grated tangerine peel or orange peel

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus additional for sprinkling

1 cup all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup whole milk

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Powdered sugar

Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 1/2- quart baking dish with 2-inch-high sides. Gently toss berries, pears, 2/3 cup sugar, wine, peel, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in medium bowl.
Step 2
Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 3/4 cup sugar in another medium bowl. Add milk, melted butter, and almond extract; whisk until blended. Spread batter in prepared dish. Place berry-pear mixture atop batter (do not stir). Sprinkle with additional cinnamon.
Step 3
Bake cobbler until crust is set in center and brown at edges, about 1 hour. Cool 30 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar; serve warm with ice cream, if desired.

Step 4
Why not stir the fruit into the batter? Left undisturbed, the batter puffs up around the fruit during baking, forming a crusty edge.
