With Labor Day coming up soon, you’ll need some simple and tasty Red White and Blue themed treats for the family to enjoy! This will definitely be a treat for everyone! Simple Triple Berry Tea Cobbler made in a cast iron skillet with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries on top of soft, light and moist tea infused cake.
This treat is my version of a “red, white and blue” dessert for Labor Day. You probably noticed that I don’t go crazy with candy and food-colored holiday treats around here. I try to create a color pallet with real ingredients, versus food coloring and candy. (Not to say that I don’t like to play around with those, it’s just rare.) I find that berries are a great way to “paint” your food and make for a beautiful color pallet (and a tasty one)!
So, for this Labor Day, I will be making this “Red, White and Blue” Berry Tea Cobbler for dessert and serving it with a tall glass of Bigelow tea.
So you know what I did this weekend? I baked something just for fun! I made some Blueberry Green Tea Scones on Sunday morning and I did not take photos or prepare a recipe to be shared, it was just for fun. More like experimenting really but still just as a fun project. The scones turned out so good that I thought to play around some more with infusing tea into baked goods.
Loads of berries definitely help with the moisture in the cobbler but also with a bright flavor. This is a great themed red, white, and blue dessert without using any artificial food colorings.

lyuba says
You can use like a 9 inch round cake pan but remember to watch your bake time as the thickness of the pan will be a bit different.

Your skillet looks great, and very tasty. I bet the lemon add tea adds a level of brightness.
