Ingredients
  

  • 6 C cubed watermelon, seeds removed
  • 2 Tbsp gin leave out if serving to kids
  • 1 tsp minced fresh mint leaves or ½ tsp dry
  • ½ lime, zested and juiced

Cobbler Topping

  • 1 C flour
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp cold unsalted butter
  • ½ C milk

Instructions
 

  • Cut watermelon into small cubes and remove any dark seeds if using seeded watermelon.
  • Fill baking dish and cover with a lid. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes.
  • Carefully remove all the liquid. Cover and return to oven for 20 more minutes.
  • Mince fresh mint leaves into small pieces. Zest half a lime, being careful not to go too deep into the white part. Squeeze the juice from the zested half.
  • Remove watermelon from over and pour most of the liquid out. Add gin, mint, lime zest and juice.
  • Prepare batter by combining flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in cold butter with knives or pastry blender. Stir in milk until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Spoon cobbler batter over top of baked watermelon mixture in clumps as evenly as possible. Bake, uncovered at 400° for 30 minutes until browning and bubbling.

Notes

For a nicer presentation, move watermelon mixture into a clean smaller baking dish before topping and baking.
Omit gin if serving to children.
