Blackberry Season! & Cobbler Recipe

05:51 PM, Wednesday, July 16, 2008 .. Posted in Sweet Recipes .. 1 comments .. Link

It is blackberry season in our area, and for the first time I have gone a-pickin' and a-preservin'! LOL

You 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!

Blackberry Cobbler

1 c flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c milk
1/2 c (1 stick) butter, melted
2 1/2 c fresh blackberries
1/2 - 1 c sugar (to taste)

Place blackberries in a large bowl. Pour in sugar, and gently stir to coat.
In an 8x8 square baking pan, blend flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.
Pour in milk and stir with a fork until smooth.
Pour in butter, and again, stir with a fork until mixed.
Drop blackberries all over the top of the batter.

Bake at 375 degrees for 45-55 minutes, until the "cake" part is golden brown.
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Enjoy!
