Here is a shot of the ton of blackberries we picked yesterday. Some of these went into the cobbler, the rest are being made into jam today. Our neighbor Ray is an expert jam maker and has invited us over to take part in making blueberry and blackberry jams. His secret ingredient is bourbon so Nick is super excited.
In case you need an EASY cobbler recipe, mine (courtesy of my mom and Southern Living) is pretty good:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place 4C. blackberries in pan and sprinkle with 1T. lemon juice. Combine 1 egg, 1 C. sugar and 1 C. all purpose flour in bowl and mix until resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over fruit. Drizzle 6 T. melted butter over topping. Bake 375 for 35 mins. or until lightly browned and bubbly. Let set for 10 mins. Then my extra secret - serve topped with vanilla ice cream.
We have been putting our Seal-A-Meal to the test lately! Here is a snapshot of our downstairs freezer where we are squirreling away our beans, berries and fish to get us through the winter.
The fish are courtesy of the London Boys and their recent ocean fishing trip off the Washington coast.

They are predicting a drop in temps end of this week and winter will be here before we know it!
