In loving memory of my grandmother,
Lettie Armstrong Glattli

Grandma and Granddaddy were both from farming families that settled in Marion County, Florida. Grandma's people had arrived from Georgia and the Carolinas in the early 1820's, while Granddaddy's family moved down from Kentucky in the early 1900's. Both families grew a large variety of fruits and vegetables. Grandma used whatever fresh fruit she had on hand to make this wonderful fruit cobbler, but it's particularly good with peaches, blackberries, pears or apples.
