We picked a large bowl of blackberries today, they are all ripening up so fast and grow wild all over the place here. I am smelling a wonderful pan of our favorite cobbler to use with berries, and thought I would type out the recipe for you while it bakes. Somersault Cobbler 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar or fructose 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/2 c. milk 3/4 cup flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 3 cups berries or fruit Sugar to sprinkle over A little butter to dot with 3/4 cup boiling water Cream sugar and butter. Combine dry ingredients and add alternately with the milk. Mix well and pour into a buttered 8x8 inch pan. Top with 3 cups of berries or fruit. Over it sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar (less for sweet fruit, more for sour - up to 1 cup for sour cherries). Dot with butter. Pour boiling water over all. Bake 30 minutes at 400 degrees. You can double it and bake it in a large casserole and it works great too. This way there might be a little spoonful left over in the corner for you after all your hungry friends have had their fill.
They are a real pest around here, we have to kill them all the time or the entire state of Oregon would be one large blackberry bramble, I swear... But the flipside of it is we get such sweet berries, all you want for free every summer.
