Love this time of year, when the blackberries are ripening behind the barns and I can go get scratched up all over and sucked down by ticks–all in search of a bucket of fresh berries. Have no idea why this is so alluring, and yet it is.

After soaking and cleaning, I ended up with enough for a small cobbler. Look at all the fun veggies that are fresh now–new potatoes, squash, zucchini, peppers, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers…..
How’s your garden doing? (The squash, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers are from the garden, the corn and potatoes are from the farmers market.)
My favorite cobbler recipe is SO easy–one cup of flour, one cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, mixed with one egg then just thrown on top of the fruit. Cut a stick of butter on top and bake for about 30 minutes at 350.
Does that look good or what? Vanilla ice cream on top = perfection!!
