T'is the season!

Our awesome neighbors planned to a potluck grilling get together today. I crocked something. A dessert. Because...why not? I Googled strawberry crock pot dessert (because it's strawberry season) and voila!, I found a winner.

"Strawberry Cobbler" (6 quart pot) Original recipe is found HERE.

~3 lbs fresh strawberries, sliced
~1/2 c sugar
~2 T cornstarch
~2 T water
~3/4 c brown sugar
~3/4 c quick oats
~1/2 c flour
~1/2 c butter

In a saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar. Let sit for 30 minutes. (Sample a strawberry.*)
After 30 minutes, cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. (Sample a strawberry.*)
In a bowl, combine cornstarch and water. Stir into berry mixture. Bring mixture to boil.
Boil for 1 minute or until mixture is thickened. (Carefully sample a strawberry.*)
Spoon mixture into crock pot.
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, and flour.
Cut in butter to form crumbly mixture.
Spread evenly over strawberry mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
Serve warm with cool whip. (or ice cream if you prefer.)

(* optional)

8 servings.
Go make this. Now. Everyone told me that it was delicious and by the amount that we came home with (see above), I'd say they weren't just saying it to be nice. You're welcome.
