It won't be long before the berry deliciousness of blackberries will be coming in. So many memories are wrapped around picking berries. There used to be a place not far from the house that was called the bone yard. A man who owned 1000's of acres and dairy farmed hauled all of his sick, dead, and dying cattle to the bone yard. For some reason that place produced the biggest and sweetest blackberries. It also produced some of the biggest rattlesnakes I have ever seen in person, as well as billions of chiggers. My dad was more susceptible to chiggers than I. There were times he would be covered with the little parasites.
Few things are better than blackberry jam or cobbler.
Blackberries are a biannual plant meaning they produce fruit in their second year. The wild varieties have thorns that will tear you up. Some are sour, some are sweat. Wild varieties can be improved by taking a minimum amount of care. I have also seen blackberries used as a hedge and it makes a very impressive one at that.
Many people know about the berries, but few know of the uses of the other parts of the plant. Hope you enjoy and learn something.
Depending on where you are, the blackberries could be ripening now or in the near future. Cobbler is without any doubt my favorite way to eat blackberries, well besides fresh if the berries are sweet. As an added bonus. I am going to share my recipe for blackberry/peach cobbler. The combination of these two fruits makes the cobbler even more special.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup self rising flour
- 1 1/2 cup sugar divided
- 1/4 cup milk
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 cups fresh peaches sliced
- 2 cups fresh blackberries washed and drained
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Preheat Oven to 375
Crust:
Combine flour, 3/4 cup sugar, milk, and butter. Mix well should be thick even on the crumbley side.
Filling:
in a saucepan put peaches and 3/4 cup of sugar over medium high heat. Once sugar has melted and peaches have begun to soften add blackberries cook for approximately 2 minutes more. Remove from heat add vanilla, lemon juice and stir.
Place fruit mixture in bottom of 9X9 glass baking dish, spoon crust mixture on top. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Note: Fruit mixture will probably show through in several spots.
Best with homemade vanilla ice cream.

I was infected with Genital Herpes Virus six months ago, ever since then i have been searching for cure everywhere because i was feeling so uncomfortable with it. I have been dating for almost 5 years until i contracted Genital Herpes from my ex-boyfriend. Since then i became very sad about the whole situation, always going online checking if i could get a cure to Genital Herpes, then i came across so many testimonies. Due to my seriousness and eagerness to be completely cured, i became a victim of fraud after contacting several so-called herbal doctors i was referred to. I lost a lot of money but i didn't stop searching for a cure. Then one faithful day, i came across a testimony of a lady saying that she got her Genital herpes cured by a Great Herbal Doctor she called Dr Ogudugu by contacting him through his email address. And she advised anyone with Genital Herpes or Simplex Herpes to contact the herbal doctor for Herbal Cure. I contemplated for about 4 hours whether or not to contact him. then something inside of me told me 'Nothing good comes easy'. I then contacted him through his email and told him my problem. He told me all the things I needed to do and also gave me instructions to follow, which i did properly. Just within weeks of drinking and applying the herbal medication he sent to me through dhl delivery service, i started seeing changes, i went to my medical doctor for check-up, i was so happy when the doctor told me i was no more having Genital Herpes Virus, it was all tears of Joy from that moment, People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation herpes has a long term effects on health and if i could ever meet a Genuinely Great Herbal Doctor. I'm so grateful to him. i am completely free from Genital Herpes Virus, i introduced a family friend who have Simplex Herpes virus to him, He called me and told me he was also cure completely. I promised to share my own testimony like that of the lady on the internet. Friends, if you are also struggling with Herpes disease you can as well Contact him via Email: greatogudugu@gmail.com
