Blackberries are a wild Southern fruit! Sarah sees them all the time on her walks in Memphis, especially in older neighborhoods. Although messy, they are a very easy fruit to grow and make an excellent cobbler. To make it extra savory, add a cup of sugar and let sit in the fridge overnight. Southern Hostesses love to bring a blackberry cobbler to a picnic or cook-out - it's sure to delight your friends or guests! Here is the recipe...
2 pints fresh blackberries
1 stick butter
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1 tiny squeeze lemon juice
1 large egg
1 cup sugar (or more depending on your sweet tooth)
Place blackberries in a greased nine inch baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar and dot with butter. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients into a batter and spread over baked blackberries carefully. Raise oven temp to 350 and bake cobbler for about 35 minutes until crusty and slightly brown on top. Serve warm ... and, if you like, with vanilla ice cream!
Enjoy!
