Blackberry Season! & Cobbler Recipe
It is blackberry season in our area, and for the first time I have gone a-pickin' and a-preservin'! LOLYou see, the other day we were out geocaching, and the kiddos and I found a "sea of blackberries" and I told my hubby about it. He said, "I would really love some blackberry cobbler......do you think you could make some preserves?"
So.....the kiddos and I got up early the next morning and headed to the "spot." There were more blackberries than we could ever pick! The first day, we came home with about 3 gallons or more of blackberries.
This is a big 13x15 pan, and it is only about 1/3 of what we picked.
Look at how big some of these are!
Then I set to work...I made 6 - 1/2 pints of blackberry preserves and 8 1/2 pints of blackberry jam. I am actually very proud of my successful endeavor. I have never made any kind of preserves before, and the only thing I have ever "canned" was my first set of pickles last summer. But those didn't have to "process."
Some of them...
The next day, we went and picked some more...I made 7 - 1/2 pints of blackberry jelly and two batches of blackberry cobbler. One for us, and one for hubby to take to work. Then I filled the freezer with quarts and quarts of fresh blackberries.

This was very good, and very simple!
