If I had to play favorites, blackberries are my least favorite berry. I dunno. They seem extra seed-y to me and if you have an overactive imagination, they look just like a pile of picnic ants (ew!).
Our street is just BURSTING with blackberries right now and so I decided it was time to get over my prejudices. We spent last Sunday evening walking up and down the road harvesting blackberries. And then I made a scrumptious blackberry cobbler.

Which turned out to taste just like August. Oh yum.
And we haven't even made a dent in our berry stash, so I've been on the hunt for more recipes... any suggestions?

Blackberry Cobbler
from the Pioneer Woman
1 stick butter
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 c. self-rising four (I just used regular flour and it was still delicious!)
1 c. milk
2 c. blackberries (frozen or fresh)
Melt butter in the microwave. Pour 1 cup of sugar and flour into a mixing bowl, whisking in milk. Mix well. Then, pour in melted butter and whisk it all together. Butter a baking dish.
Now rinse and pat dry the blackberries. Pour the batter into a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle blackberries over the top of the batter, distributing evenly. Sprinkle 1/4 c. sugar over the top.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until golden and bubbly.
Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream.
(We just ended up eating it straight out of the pan with big spoons)
