3 cups mixed Ontario berries such as raspberries, blueberries and blackberries |

3 tbsp cornstarch |

Directions
DIRECTIONS
Line barbecue grate with foil (to prevent flairs from drips) and preheat to 350°F.
FRUIT FILLING
Combine all berries in large bowl. Stir sugar with cornstarch until well blended; sprinkle over berries and gently toss to combine. Transfer to large, buttered cast iron skillet.
BISCUIT TOPPING
Whisk flour with sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Use a box grater to grate butter into flour mixture; stir until evenly distributed. Stir in buttermilk with a fork until a ragged dough forms.
Drop spoonfuls of dough over berries, so that surface is evenly covered, but allowing some fruit to peek through. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if using.
Place cobbler on grill; turn off burner directly under skillet. Close lid; cook for 50 to 60 minutes or until filling is bubbly and glossy and biscuit topping sounds hollow when tapped. (Be sure to check temperature gauge often and adjust remaining burners to maintain as close to 350°F as possible. Rotate skillet occasionally for even cooking.)
Let stand for at least 20 minutes to thicken juices before serving with ice cream, if desired.
