It's ALL About the BERRIES..................

I love blackberries - especially in cobbler when I can add all the berries I want........
It is awesome and so easy to make it is pathetic......

1. 1 cup butter (soft).
2. 1 cup sugar
3. 4 teaspoons baking powder
4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
5. 1 cup milk
6. 2 cups flour.

Combine sugar and butter, add salt and baking powder and stir. Add the milk and flour and mix with a large spoon.
Add the mix to the bottom of a 8 x 12 inch cake pan.

BERRIES: use at least 4 cups frozen (or fresh) berries mixed with 1 cup of sugar.....let set ahead of time so the berries get sweet.....

ADD the berries (and the juice) on TOP of the dough mix........Bake at 375 for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour...take out when brown and the dough does not stick to a knife inserted in it..............

Below is how our crops have developed since 2006.

Here is photo of our newest planting established July 2008. Greed got the best of us and we had to plant more.
Below is our first planting started in July 2006.

Below is how it looked in spring of 2008....note all the flowers........

Now below is the same row in September 2008.....The bushes are about 3-4 feet high and 6 feet across...No care....just water and fertilizer.........I must thank mosaic mom who has championed this growing method.........

I am ready to hit the kitchen again..........nothing beats a freezer full of happy blackberries.......except a happy stomach full of happy blackberry cobbler..........lots of fiber in them berries though................
