National Cherry Cobbler Day

May 17 is marked by the aroma of fresh pastries: we inhale the pleasant smell of cherry-filled cobbler baking in the oven; National Cherry Cobbler Day is coming. It’s the perfect occasion to gather the whole family for a festive dinner and thank the person who made this delightful national dessert!

History

In the first half of the 17th century, cherry trees were planted across large areas of New York, brought by European traders. Cherry cobbler was first made in the 19th century as a variation of a delicious dessert, created from a simple set of available ingredients. The cobbler is based on sponge dough, with the main secret being its rich, abundant filling.

Interesting facts

If you don’t like cherries, substitute them with strawberries and enjoy the holiday! It’s not necessary to bake the cobbler yourself—you can order one from a reputable bakery.

1. The filling is sweet, while the dough is unsweetened, creating a perfect balance. The pie crust is crispy.
2. The perfect addition to cherry cobbler is whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, as served in restaurants. Try it at home!
3. Cherries in the pie retain their beneficial properties. They contain antioxidants and vitamins that help support overall health and contribute to maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.

Indulge a little in honor of the holiday! Don’t miss out on the chance to enjoy a delicious treat.
