• Jul. 17, 2009 - Blackberries...

Posted in Homemaking

I have jam and jelly, along with various other things to can, coming out of my ears right now.  So after picking blackberries, I decided that instead of yet another jar of jam to can, I needed comfort food.

Something warm and soothing, something sweet, and most of all quick and easy.

So I went to my new favorite website (Food Network... I've got a new Alton Brown fixation) and went in search of cobbler.  This one was super-easy, and while a bit sweet for me, still delicious....

You can link above to the actual recipe, but I'll give you the rundown....

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put 3C blackberries in a buttered casserole, and sprinkle with 1/3 cup of sugar (and yes, I used some white sugar that I had stashed in the pantry) 

Combine 1-1/2 cup flour (I used soft white wheat) with 1 tbsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt in food processor.  Add in 8(!) tbsp butter and cut it into the flour by pulsing the food processor (I actually only could force myself to use about 6tbsp).  Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream (sorry, I used whole/raw milk) and pulse until dough forms.

You could do this all by hand, but the cuisinart was faster.

Spoon dough over berries. 

Melt 2 more tbsp of butter and drizzle over the dough.  Top with another 1/3 cup of sugar.

Bake 30-40 minutes until golden brown.

Serve, preferably with vanilla ice cream, and be glad that it's summer.

That looks SOOOOOO good! I love Alton Brown, his cookbooks are SO educational! I plan on teaching my kids a lot about chemistry when the time comes through his cooking!
