Directions:

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with shortening.

2. In a 4-quart Dutch oven, mix granulated sugar and cornstarch. Add berries and lemon juice; toss until evenly coated. Heat to boiling. Boil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Spoon into casserole dish. Top with Chambord.

3. In a large bowl mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Cut in butter, using a pastry blender or crisscrossing two knives, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in enough hot water until mixture forms a soft dough, about two to three tablespoons. Drop dough one tablespoon at a time onto berry mixture.

4. Bake cobbler for 25 to 30 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.

5. Serve warm and top with ice cream, preferably vanilla.
