blackberry cobbler

There are some foods that bring back memories of home. I can remember waking up on summer mornings to the smell of this blackberry cobbler. It is so delicious that I would stand over the stove and eat it out of the pan. I made it on Saturday for brunch, and even though it wasn’t quite like my mom’s, the smell that filled our house reminded me of home. 

Blackberry Cobbler

8 cups Blackberries -- fresh or frozen

1 cup Sugar

1/4 cup Tapioca, Pearl -- instant

1/2 Lime -juice of

Pinch of Salt

1 cup Flour

1 cup Shredded coconut -- sweetened

3/4 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Pecans -- coarsely chopped

1/2 teaspoons Baking powder

1/4 teaspoons Salt

1/2 cup Butter cold (1 stick) -- cubed

1 Egg

Preheat oven to 375F Mix the first 5 ingredients in a bowl. Spoon into a 2 quart baking dish. Combine the next 6 ingredients in a bowl. Using your fingertips, knead in the butter until incorporated. Mixture should look like coarse sand. Blend in the egg, then arrange topping over the berries in clumps, covering them evenly. Bake the cobbler for 45 – 50 minutes, or until topping is golden and crisp, and filling is thick and bubbly. Cool on a rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
