Who has heard of a slump?

Not a senior slump, like the one I am now experiencing. No, I mean a fruity dessert slump.

I had not heard of a slump until yesterday, when I decided I wanted to make a fruity, cobblery dessert with my cast iron skillet and found this recipe.

The word slump goes back to colonial times, I read. We now generally call this a cobbler, but it is referring to the same delicious, beloved summertime dessert.

This is the best dessert I’ve had in awhile And that is saying something, because I have had a lot of dessert lately.

So sweet, so good, especially served with a healthy scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is delicious when it has cooled for a bit, but still has a touch of warmth to it. The berries become thick and creamy when mixed with the melted ice cream.

This slump has made my senior slump seem more manageable.
