Slumps, Crumbles, Cobblers and Grunts ---

[pneu-engine]

---like siblings whose parents had an odd sense of humor share more than just strange names. As with many siblings, their differences are mostly on the surface (or in the crust). Dig below the surface and you'll find that they're really just variations on the same theme --- a homey and soul-satisfying deep-dish fruit pie.

***Real cobblers are topped with a pastry.

***Grunts are topped with a biscuit dough that has been steamed.

***Slumps are also topped with a baked biscuit

***Crumbles are topped with a buttery streusel.

The quote above was in our evening paper. :lol

I would be pleased to hear of your favorite recipes for summer fruits, which are in season right now.

Here are some recipes a well.

I don't make alot of dessert, it just makes us get fatter. Maybe when I'm a grandma someday I'll wait and make everybody else fat.

Yeah, this is great! The nice thing about this is you can use any kind of fruit, and actually any kind of cake mix. Try strawberries and use chocolate cake mix. :drool

I know this probably won't sound too appealing, but I've heard something with that description you gave called a "dump cake" (because the cake mix was dumped over the fruit). I've made one before, and it was very good -- however instead of using already melted butter, I just arranged thin pats of butter all over the top of the dry cake mix. I think melted butter would work better, but the method I used turned out fine too. :wink

Since strawberries abound here, I like to take a plain white or yellow cake mix and make it according to directions. I take a pint of strawberries and mush them up slightly, just so they have some juice running and then I mix that with whipped topping. When the cake is cooled, I spread the berry/topping mix around instead of frosting.

Mmmm, yummy!
