Island Blackberry Cobbler

Quick! Cobbler Time! The blackberries are early this year and here’s an easy-peasy recipe that will impress even that snooty co-worker of yours. Any fruit will do and cobblers are a heck of a lot easier than pies in my book.
 p.s. If you serve your warm fruit cobbler with vanilla ice cream you get extra warm-and-fuzzy-food-memory points with your children and their children, and their children . . . in perpetuity.

  1. Maine coast wild blueberries are just coming in too. I love biscuit crusts and suspect this will be much better than blueberry pie. Thank you.

    1. This will make a perfect blueberry cobbler. That was one of my mother’s favorites. We picked quarts and quarts of wild blueberries near our cottage in Michigan.

  2. Thanks for the recipe Cheryl – Our blackberries here in Australia are about 6 months behind yours 🙂 but I do like to keep frozen berries so I’ll try it with those – Margaret

    1. You’re welcome Margaret. I mostly use frozen berries. They break down well after they’ve been frozen . . . juicy. And there are only so many cobblers we can eat in one month. I freeze my berries in a single layer on baking sheets and when they are hard enough, put them into zip-lock bags. That way I can use them a few at a time for smoothies, for example.

  3. This recipe sounds delicious! We get our berries from local farmers and they are huge and sweet. I will try this… thank you for the recipe 🙂

  4. This sounds delicious! Our blackberries in the UK are a few weeks behind yours but will give this recipe a go. We have a glut of plums that will ripen next month so may try it with them too. Thank you so much for your fun site it is so informative yet friendly.

    Kind regards,

  5. Hi Cheryl,

    Our blackberry’s have huge cores and giant seeds. Yours must be a more edible variety. The bushes are a nightmare. Always growing over, under and through anything in their way. Your recipe does sound delicious. I haven’t made a cobbler in years but may now that you have put the thought into my mind. Our weather has changed and is rainy and gold so am thinking to crochet a simple Afghan. I made one 38 years ago and my son said it is time for a new one…..if this one lasts 38 years it will live on long after I am gone to be with my Lord.

    1. Mine are Himalayas and have pretty giant seeds Paticia, and yes, they are invasive, but my son mows to keep them contained. We have another kind of “wild blackberry” around here, smaller and more tart, that grow in the wild. People keep the location of their patches secret. 🙂
