Tomato Cobbler
Copyright (c) 2007  by Bill Scifres

For Tomato Cobbler use basic Berry Cobbler recipe (see below) with these changes:

1/2 cup milk (instead of 3/4 cup) 
1 cup sugar (in place of 2 cups), divided into 2 halves 
1 1/4 to 1 1/3 cups flour (instead of 1 cup)
1 3/4 to 2 cups chopped tomatoes (instead of berries)*
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Other ingredients the same: 1/2 cup butter, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Procedure is the same, but sprinkle top of cobbler with the cinnamon when crust rises.

*Note: Tomatoes should be dead ripe. Tomatoes should be blanched until peeling cracks, then peeled and cored, then cut into bite-size pieces (seeds removed as much as possible).
