Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup self-rising cornmeal mix
  • 3/4 cup sugar plus 2 tbsp, divided.
  • 1 cup milk
  • zest from one orange
  • 1/4 cup orange juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the butter in a baking dish (9x13 inches works well). Put it in the oven until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven once the butter is melted.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising cornmeal mix, 3/4 cup sugar, milk, orange zest and orange juice. Stir until smooth.
  • Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir, let the butter spread on its own. Sprinkle the fresh cranberries evenly over the batter. Finally, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar on top.
  • Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the batter has set.
  • Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If you can't find self-rising cornmeal mix, then you can use regular cornmeal with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt mixed in!
