Down Home, Homemade Blackberry Cobbler

Growing up in Alabama my family and friends were all about down home cook’n.  We so enjoyed our grits, fried okra, collards and fried chicken, but what we really loved were the sweet treats, especially pound cake and cobblers. To us, pound cake and cobblers had their own special food group.

Because pound cakes and cobblers played such an important role in our lives (only in the south), my mom was so good about always making them appear at holidays and birthdays.

One of her favorite sweet, southern delicacies to bake was blackberry cobbler. She would always bake homemade blackberry cobbler, with fresh picked blackberries, for Daaa-dy’s buuurth-day in mid July.

Oh how he loved this fresh blackberry cobbler with its sweet, tart blackberries and slightly sweet buttery crust. It was one of his favorite desserts, so much so, that he requested it throughout the summer and maybe throughout the whole year.
