I’ve used a recipe very similar to this recipe for years. And, if you don’t like sticky gooey crust (like my family) melt the butter in the pan, and pour most of it into the batter and mix in. DON’T scrape the pan. Pour in crust, berries and voila’ soft crust cobbler. You can also use any fruit in this recipe- sweetened to taste.

I just froze six huge bags of blackberries with my new FoodSaver. This will be a great way to use up a bag or so! Thanks!

My Mom used to make Blackberry Dumplings. She just used her pie crust recipe and cut it into strips and sometimes she actually made sweet dumplings to put in it.
We had an abundance of wild Blakberries on both our farms and they were our favorites………that and peaches.
Store bought berries are not the same as the ones we used to get.
