3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter
2 dry pints fresh blueberries, picked over and washed
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup unbleached pastry flour

Place cast iron skillet on the heat and add 1 stick of butter.
When melted add blueberries and 1/2 cup sugar.
Cook until mixture bubbles and becomes a light syrup, about 5 – 8 minutes.
In medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and remaining butter until it resembles crumbs.
Stir in buttermilk. Mix until the dough just comes together. Don’t overmix!
Drop by spoonfuls on top of blueberry mixture. About four 1/4 cup lumps.
Cover skillet with foil and cook until filing is bubbly, cobbler is firm, and a toothpick comes out clean. About 30 – 40 minutes.

Caramel corn is a favorite of mine. I went through a period of time where I wanted it almost every other night when I was growing up.

Campfire Caramel Corn

You Need:

1/2 c popcorn kernels
3 tbsp oil
1/2 c margarine or butter
1/2 c brown sugar
7 large marshmallows

Make It:

Add oil to a dutch oven and pop the popcorn over your campfire. Set aside.

Over the campfire in another pan, melt butter, brown sugar and marshmallows. Stir constantly until bubbling.

Remove from heat and spoon the caramel mixture over your popcorn. Make sure you cover it all and mix well.
