How to Make North Carolina's Best-Kept Secret: Sonker

Ever heard of a Sonker? I hadn’t until now, and I couldn't be more thrilled to dive into this North Carolina gem! There's even a Surry Sonker Trail dedicated to celebrating this one-of-a-kind cobbler, which is definitely going on my travel wishlist. Recipe inspired by the fabulous vintage 1970s community cookbook More Saratoga Secrets, generously donated by Peggy Hardt. Check out the recipe for an amazing Sonker Cobbler below. I can't wait to hear how yours turns out! - RECIPE - Preheat oven to 350° 1/2 c. sugar 2 T. cornstarch 1/2 c. water 4 c. Fruit Whisk cornstarch and water until smooth. Mix with blueberries and sugar.
