23 March 1775 - PATRICK HENRY MAKES A FIERY BID FOR FREEDOM: American
lawyer Patrick Henry serves up rousing rhetoric at the House of
Burgesses in Richmond, Virginia, as he makes his case for supporting
military action against the British. Henry's words "give me liberty or
give me death" will resonate through the centuries.

Henry is credited with having swung the balance in convincing the
convention to pass a resolution delivering Virginian troops for the Revolutionary War. Among the delegates to the convention were future
United States presidents Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.

Categories: Pies, Desserts, Fruits, Dairy, Citrus
Yield: 7 servings

MMMMM-------------------------COBBLER--------------------------------
1 c Sliced strawberries
1/4 c Sugar
6 tb Butter
1 1/2 c A-P flour
2 1/4 ts Baking powder
3/4 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Milk
3/4 c Sugar

MMMMM---------------------BLUEBERRY SAUCE----------------------------
2 pt Blueberries
1/4 c Water
1/4 c Sugar
1 tb Lemon juice
Whipped cream

Pour sugar over strawberries and mix well. Set aside and
let macerate for 20 minutes.

Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Put butter in a 9" X 13" ovenproof serving dish, and
place in the oven to melt.

Mix together flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl,
and stir in milk and sugar to make a batter.

Remove dish with melted butter from the oven, and pour
in the batter.

Arrange drained strawberries over the batter in a single
layer, then drizzle the juices from the berries on top.

Return the dish to the oven. Bake until the batter is
browned and has risen up and around the fruit,
approximately 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the blueberry sauce. Rinse and pick over
blueberries. Combine water and sugar in a saucepan, and
heat to the boiling point. Place 1 pint of blueberries
in the bowl of a food processor. Process, turning the
machine on and off about 4 times, until berries are
coarsely pureed. Add to sugar syrup with lemon juice,
and bring back to a boil. Cook about 2 minutes more. Add
remaining pint of whole berries, reserving a few for
decoration.

Serve blueberry sauce over the warm cobbler, and top
with whipped cream and reserved berries.
