                         fruit or berries
                         water
                         sugar
                         yellow cake mix
                         walnuts -- chopped
 
 Any kind of fruit or berries can be used.  My favorite is black or
 boysenberries, freshly picked.  Wash the berries in cold water.  Oil the
 pot and put about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom.  Sweeten berries to
 taste then sweeten a little more.  Some berries taste sweet enough fresh
 off the vine but in pies or cobblers they come out too tart, so be
 generous with sweeteners.  Pour fruit in pot.  I usually use a yellow
 cake mix, but I like a lemon or butterscotch for variety.  Mix the cake
 mix according to directions, stirring in a generous amount of walnuts. 
 Since moving to Hurricane, pecans have taken the place of walnuts at
 times.  Spread evenly over fruit.  Ken says to be a dutch oven cook you
 have to get your fingers into it, so spread batter with fingers if you
 want to be professional!  Anyway, you want a little of your character in
 your food.  Cook with low heat on the bottom, higher on top.  Check
 often.
