I've tweaked this recipe a few times, and everyone enjoys it. You can use frozen blackberries, but fresh are best. The lime zest really complements the sweet fruit, and the sour cream pastry is delightful. -Kimberly Reisinger, Spring, Texas

BLACKBERRY COBBLER



Blackberry Cobbler image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 ounces fresh or frozen blackberries
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons almond extract
Zest of 1/2 orange
One 14.1-ounce package refrigerated pie crust
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg
vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Combine the blackberries and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add to the pan. Simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in the almond extract and orange zest, then remove from the heat and place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, allowing the mixture to cool slightly.
  • For the lattice crust: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface to approximately 10 by 14 inches. Cut one pie crust lengthwise into 4 long strips 1 3/4 inches wide (you will have scraps). Cut the second pie crust widthwise into 6 short strips, also 1 3/4 inches wide.
  • Place the 4 long strips vertically on a sheet pan with half an inch between them. Fold the first and third strips back on themselves and lay a short strip across. Fold the first and third long strips back to their original position over the top of the short strip. Now fold the long second and fourth strips back. Lay a short strip over and return the long strips. Repeat until you have laid six strips across and have a lattice. Trim the edges a little and put the sheet pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the lattice to harden a little.
  • Place the lattice on top of the blackberry mixture. Make an egg wash by beating the egg together with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Brush the lattice with egg wash and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes. (The berries may bubble over slightly, but that's normal.)
  • Serve bowls of cobbler with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

BEST BLACKBERRY COBBLER

This is my uncles recipe that he makes for family get togethers. It is the best! Other berries can be substituted but blackberries are our favorite! For smaller families or get togethers, this recipe halves easily!

Provided by MacChef

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 16-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups blackberries
3 cups sugar
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons water (a bit more could be necessary depending on your flour)
1 (16 ounce) box refrigerated pillsbury ready crust pie dough

Steps:

  • Place filling ingredients in a pot and barely cover with water and bring to a boil.
  • Place first three dumpling ingredients in a bowl. Cut shortening into flour using pastry cutter, forks or your hands until it resembles course meal.
  • Add water one teaspoon at a time until dough holds together in a ball and does not crumble when pressed.
  • Flour a work surface and roll out dumpling dough to about 1/4 - 1/8 inch thick and cut into squares.
  • Drop dumplings into berry filling and cook 30 minutes. Make sure to stir when dropping in dumplings so they don't stick together.
  • Pour filling into a 4 quart rectangle baking dish.
  • Roll out pre-made crusts and place over berries. *Most pre-made pie crust boxes come with 2 single crusts. You will need both crusts and trim the extra off. If you have the patience you can create a lattice crust using the pre-made dough for a pretty presentation.
  • Bake your cobbler according to the Pillsbury Ready Crust box directions.
  • This recipe can be halved or 2 smaller cobblers made by using two 2 quart dishes and using one pre-made crust per cobbler.

  • You can use any type of pie crust for this cobbler, such as a store-bought pie crust, a homemade pie crust, or a biscuit dough.
  • If you're using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions before filling it with the blackberry mixture.
  • If you're making a homemade pie crust, be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Be careful not to over-mix the cobbler batter, as this will make the cobbler tough.
  • Bake the cobbler until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the cobbler with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dollop of sour cream.
