Blueberries were a bust this season.  I still have hope that I can locate and score a few pounds for the freezer.

Fresh Summer Blackberry Cobbler

Serves 6-8

Recipe from Food Network

Ingredients:

2-1/2 cups blackberries

2/3 cup sugar

1-1/2 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup heavy cream whipped, sweetened

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Into a buttered shallow baking dish place blackberries.  Sprinkle with 1/3 cup sugar.

In the bowl of a food processor combine flour, baking powder and salt.  Add butter and pulse to create a lumpy mixture.  Add cream and pulse until dough forms.  Dough will be soft.  Spoon dough over blackberries.

Melt 2 remaining tablespoons of butter and drizzle over mounds of dough.  Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup sugar.

Bake about 30-to 40 minutes or until dough and fruit are cooked through and dough is lightly browned.
