Peach/Blueberry Slump

I had heard about the book Rustic Fruit Desserts and asked for it for Christmas this year. I finally got around to making something from it a few days ago. I wanted to make a pie but didn't have time to let one bake, so I found this recipe that you cook on the stove top. A bit like cobbler, but the dough is more...fluffy. The recipe calls for peaches only, but I didn't have enough so I used blueberries too. I added a bit more sugar to make up for the tartness of the berries and it was pretty good.

I didn't know how to tell it was done, and in the end I overcooked it. The top still looked unbaked and wet when I peeked under the lid. But of course it was going to look slightly wet - you cook it with the lid on! It still tasted great and was a nice and pretty fast cooked fruit dessert.
