Very Cherry Cobbler

In large saucepan, stir together water and cornstarch. Add cherries, sugar, lemon peel and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes, stirring, until mixture thickens and becomes clear. Transfer fruit mixtrue to shallow 1-1/2 quart baking dish; set aside.

To make biscuits, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add cream to dry ingredients; mix with fork until mixture begins to hold together. Transfer to lightly floured surface; knead 10 times or until smooth dough forms. Roll or pat out to 3/4-inch thick circle.

Place on top of fruit mixture. If preferred, topping can be cut with a biscuit cutter into 6 biscuits. Brush topping with milk or cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until biscuits are browned and fruit is bubbling. Cool slightly before serving.
