Blackberry Cobbler

As we head into summer, so many wonderful types of produce are at their peak, with blackberries being among them.  Plump, juicy, and the perfect mixture of sweet and tart, these berries are amazing on their own (or whipped up into a blackberry mojito!), but truly are at their best when baked into a homemade blackberry cobbler.

CLASSIC, OLD-FASHIONED DESSERT

What exactly is a blackberry cobbler? Everyone has their own idea of what a cobbler is.  Traditionally speaking though, cobbler is a baked fruit dish that’s topped with a biscuit-like top.  When baked, the biscuits create a “cobbled” look, similar to a cobblestone street.

Some versions can have a cake-like topping, though I prefer to stick with the traditional method for this blackberry cobbler recipe.
