DIRECTIONS
FOR THE FILLING:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Butter 8-inch square baking dish. Combine first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to baking dish. Dot fruit with butter pieces. Bake until fruit mixture bubbles in center, about 1 hour. Cool while preparing topping.

FOR THE TOPPING:
Decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Combine flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt in processor. Pulse to blend. Add marzipan and process until marzipan is incorporated into flour. Add butter and process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cream and process just until combined. Drop cobbler dough by teaspoonfuls over surface of fruit. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over dough.

Bake until topping is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

While this recipe does take a long time (2 hours), it is well worth it. I used black plums for the filling. They were just tart enough. The marzipan for the biscuit topping is so good. It makes a great pairing with the tart plums. I've made it twice in the last couple of weeks - once for my 94-year old parents and guests. My parents then asked that I please make it again for the following weekend when I visit as they loved it. Served it with vanilla ice cream. The recipe is a keeper.
