One of my most favorite cobblers is blackberry.
Yes, most people would consider this a summer dessert. Me, too, but the supermarkets have them almost any time of year so we can indulge whenever we please. When I made this recipe, I used a combination of blackberry, strawberry, and blueberry. Strawberries are usually cheaper than the others, so I use them to make up about half the berry amount. Blackberries are so rich in flavor they tend to take over, but I like it that way. Whatever you decide, I’m sure it will be delicious. And don’t forget the ice cream!
