PEAR RHUBARB COBBLER

Taking advantage of the fact that our garden has provided us this summer with a few large rhubarb bushes, I was especially interested in finding delicious recipes involving rhubarb. And here is one more yummi and easy to make dessert - a mixture of fresh rhubarb and pears baked under crumbly biscuit layer! 
I also love the idea that any kinds of berries and fruits may be used as a filling and it's really great when you need a quick dessert!
