I know it’s getting late in the season to find blackberries for too much longer but this is always what I put on my Labor Day menu.
We have tons of blackberry bushes around my house and I try to pick as many as I can early in the season and put them up.
By “putting them up” I mean freezing. My mom and grandmother always used to put up vegetables and fruits for the winter.
I’ve just started myself and it can be so rewarding.
I have a recipe for canned banana pepper rings which I’ll share another day.
This recipe for Shiny Top Blackberry Cobbler though could be used with any of your favorites that you normally make a cobbler with.
Peach, apple, cherry, whatever you can find that you love.
You could even get the canned pie filling from the grocery store during the winter months.
And always top it off with vanilla bean ice cream! Such a perfect desert and it goes so well with any type of barbecue.
One thing to note and please know I am assuming when I write these recipes that someone out there doesn’t spend a ton of time in the kitchen, so if you know some of the tips I include, just bear with me.
Anytime you have to measure ingredients always use the proper measuring cup.
Dry ingredients go in a dry measuring cup and anything that is liquid goes in the liquid measure.
They are different and WILL change how the recipe turns out. Here are pictures of the two.
So why is it called Shiny Top Blackberry Cobbler?
Well it’s a little different in that right before you stick it in the oven, you pour boiling water on top and when it comes out it has a shiny sheen to it and is gooey and chewy and warm and wonderful. Try it for yourself…
