Blackberry Cobbler
-
Preheat oven to 350
degrees.
-
Melt 2 sticks of REAL
butter in a 13" X 9" pan.
-
You may want to put a sheet
of Reynolds Wrap under the pan and let it extend over the edges to make the
cleaning easier. I also put the pan on a cookie sheet to help keep my oven
clean in case it drips over.
-
In a large saucepan, mix
1-1/2 cups of sugar with 3 Tbsp cornstarch.
-
Add 1 cup of water and 1
cup of grapefruit juice (If I only have orange juice I use it) and a few
dashes of cinnamon and 1 tsp of Almond extract (After the first one you may
want to add more. I sometimes use Maple extract.)
-
Stir it constantly to
thicken a little.
-
Add 5 cups of Blackberries
or your chosen fruit (raspberry, cherry, apple, peach).
-
Stir until thick and set
aside for a few minutes.
-
In a bowl mix even amounts
of the following: Flour, Milk and Sugar. I use 1-1/2 cups of each.
-
Pour the flour mixture into
the pan on top of the melted butter. DO NOT MIX.
-
Pour the berry mixture on
top of the flour batter in the pan and DO NOT MIX.
-
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.
-
Done and Yum!!!
-
Tips: Blackberries can be
frozen for a year or so and still be used with total success in this cobbler.
Mixing blackberries and raspberries or peaches is yummy too! You can use skim
milk in the dough but why bother when you start off with 2 sticks of butter.
