Instructions
Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas
Tip the rhubarb and strawberries into a large bowl.
Sprinkle over the sugar and flour, then gently stir through to coat the fruit. Tip into a baking dish, about 30 x 20cm.
To make the topping, place the flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking powder, butter and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse to fine crumbs. Pulse in 75ml cream and the vanilla extract, just until the mixture starts to come together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, then gently knead once or twice to bring together.
Roll out the dough until it is 1cm thick. Use a 7cm round cutter to cut out 9-12 rounds, pressing together the scraps and re-rolling if you need.
Arrange the circles over the fruit, leaving a 1-2cm gap between them, then brush the circles with 1 tbsp cream.
Sprinkle with the flaked almonds, then bake in the oven for 40 mins until the topping is golden and the fruit is cooked. Stir together the mascarpone, orange zest and juice and icing sugar, and serve alongside the cobbler.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port, Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel
Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port are great choices for Cobbler. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. One wine you could try is NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
