Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Coat a 30 x 20 cm (13 x 9 in.) baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss the peaches, blackberries, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Turn into the baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour, pecans, remaining brown sugar and nutmeg in a large bowl. Cut in the margarine with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles very coarse crumbs. Add 3/4 cup milk and stir with a fork until a thick batter forms, adding water if necessary.
- Drop the batter on top of the fruit, spacing evenly, to make 12 dumplings. Lightly brush the dumplings with the remaining milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake until a skewer inserted in the centre of a dumpling comes out with moist crumbs sticking to it, 25–30 minutes. Serve peach and berry cobbler warm or at room temperature.
