MAMA'S BLACKBERRY COBBLER
Alabama has some tasty fresh blackberries. Decades ago, my mama was heading out to pick blackberries to make a cobbler, but she ended up going to the hospital to have me instead. This is her mama's recipe. The blackberries start on top, but then end up tucked under a golden brown crust after it's baked. -Lisa Allen, Joppa, Alabama

Tips:
- Select ripe and plump blackberries: Fresh, juicy blackberries burst with flavor and create a delicious filling for the cobbler.
- Use a variety of berries: Don't limit yourself to just blackberries. Try mixing in other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries for a colorful and flavorful cobbler.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cobbler. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Bake until golden brown: The cobbler is done baking when the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings: A scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dollop of sour cream are classic and delicious accompaniments to blackberry cobbler.
