A hit of marjoram gives this summer classic an herby back note. (This recipe was developed with IBM's Chef Watson.)

Ingredients

Filling

2 pounds fresh or frozen blackberries (about 3 ½ cups)
1 pound fresh or frozen sweet cherries (about 2 cups), pitted
½ cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Biscuit Topping and Assembly

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
½ cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
¾ cup buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten to blend
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Preparation

  1. Filling

    Step 1

    Heat oven to 350°. Toss blackberries, cherries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, marjoram, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a shallow 3-quart baking dish.

  2. Biscuit Topping and Assembly

    Step 2

    Pulse flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 Tbsp. sugar in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse until the texture of coarse meal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Using a spoon, mix in buttermilk, then gently knead a few times until dough comes together. Drop mounds of biscuit over filling, brush with egg, and sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. sugar.

    Step 3

    Place cobbler on a baking sheet and bake, tenting with foil if topping becomes too dark before filling is done, until filling is bubbling and topping is golden brown, 35–40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly.

    Step 4

    Just before serving, whisk cream, sour cream, honey, and powdered sugar in a medium bowl until soft peaks form.

    Step 5

    Serve cobbler topped with whipped cream mixture.
