Sonker or Cobbler? Well if you are from North Carolina and pile on the ice cream, call it a “sonker”!
Traditional North Carolina Blueberry Sonker
A Sonker is a traditional North Carolina take on the Cobbler. After a call for recipes, this was forwarded from a North Carolina blueberry fan who says this is a family favorite all year around! You can use fresh or frozen blueberries and be sure to have vanilla ice cream on hand! This is simple, fast and tasty.
