  • When selecting strawberries, look for bright red, unblemished fruit that has a sweet aroma.
  • When selecting rhubarb, look for firm, crisp stalks with no signs of wilting or discoloration.

  • Substitute maple syrup for the Splenda to add a rich, earthy flavor with a hint of sweetness. The benefit of this substitution is that maple syrup is a natural sweetener that is lower in calories than granulated sugar and can add a unique flavor to the cobbler.

This was so delicious, I used light sour cream because I don't care for the taste of fat-free, I also used real butter, I chose this to make for Derf's cookathon, thanks Derf!

Delicious and so satisfying to my sweet tooth! My husband and daughter loved it too, and have asked me to make it again! Since I can get frozen rhubarb and strawberries, I can make this all year long and I am so excited to do just that!

I am happy that I made this because it came out so good. I used fresh rhubarb and strawberries which in my book always tastes better than frozen, but you do what you have to do, because I know I will make this during the winter with frozen too :) It was extremely delicious served up with French Vanilla ice cream and my friend and I both agree you would never know it has Splenda in it, which is a plus for both of us because we are diabetic, and I use it as often as I can when baking. I thank you for sharing this with us Derf! Linda

Fun facts:

The rhubarb used in this cobbler has been enjoyed in many parts of the world for centuries. It was first cultivated in China during the 27th century BC, and was later brought to Europe in the 17th century.

The use of Splenda in this recipe was inspired by the late celebrity chef Paula Deen, who was known for her southern-style cooking and her love of sweet treats. She was an advocate for the use of Splenda in her recipes as a way to reduce calories and sugar.
