Blackberries bushes are extremely prolific on our property. The birds love em and spread blackberry seeds ALL over! The blackberries are having a very good growing year. Yep, we expect to be living pretty much forever.

Eat as many fresh foods as you can.

We say Grow your own, or buy from a reputable, local, organic farm, farmers market, fruit stand or your local food co-op. Investing in your health is never a bad idea. Eat your fruits and veggies!

However, I really DON’T recommend growing blackberries. They are invasive! (At least that’s how it is in our temperate climate). But if you love blackberries go hunting in vacant lots, old driveways (like ours), parks, trails  and wherever brambles love to grow (watch out for toxic sprays though).

If you get crazy enough to plant them. Find one of the THORNLESS varieties. Whacking back our thorny ole bushes is a blood sport.

Blackberries are delicious and healthy for us!

Blackberries are full of fiber and have one of the highest levels of cancer fighting anti-oxidants. These are a powerful health tool to add to your diet. Follow the link above to learn more about the nutrition of blackberries.

Blackberry Cobbler is a delicious combination of a slightly sweet dough and healthy blackberries.

This cobbler is a fast, easy way to enjoy blackberries and use them up. Ready to pop in the oven in about 10 minutes (not counting blackberry picking time here). This  blackberry cobbler is officially kid approved by my three granddaughters.  One of whom will not touch fruit (is that strange or what?) in any other form. She perked right up after being lured into the first bite of this cobbler,  and eagerly devoured more, and more! Blackberry cobbler might be her fruit breakthrough!

This cobbler makes a great take along dessert for parties and potlucks. Well received by everyone. You will need to set the dish in a box to protect your car. Blackberry juices stain!

Blackberry Cobbler Recipe:

I have made this recipe with both fresh and frozen blackberries. It works well either way. IF you are using frozen berries, measure them frozen and stir them in that way too. Just break apart any berry clumps. Watch the liquid level of your fresh or frozen berries. Drain any extra juice off so the recipe bakes correctly.

A word about coconut oil. I LOVE baking with it. It add a wonderful flavor to baked goods. If you haven’t tried it in your baking I hope you do. If you don’t happen to have any on hand substitute butter one to one. Either will work great.

Instructions:

This is one of the easiest recipes on Homemade Food Junkie. Put it together in 10 minutes and pop it in the oven. Dessert is done!

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Prepare fresh blackberries by putting them in a bowl of standing water while you do the other recipe steps. Then drain them well and pick out any bits of bush, webs, or moving ickies, before putting them on the top of the cobbler.(If you’re buying them pre-washed, don’t immerse them in water at all.) For frozen berries thaw and drain if they are frozen in liquid. If using whole dry frozen berries, just measure and use as fresh.
  For the cobbler:
• Spread melted coconut oil in the bottom of a glass 8 x 8 pan, or 9 inch pie plate.
• Mix flour, sugar, milk & vanilla; then pour the batter layer over coconut oil.No stirring.
• Add the blackberries in a layer over the batter. The “batter” will bake up around it.
• Bake for about 1 hr. Cobbler will be golden brown.

Top this treat off with homemade Whipping cream, French Vanilla Bean Ice Cream  or Blackberry Cheesecake Ice Cream for a touch of decadence.
