Not this year, by golly. I called Mom today for tips on making cobbler. As a kid, we had a deal: if I picked enough (and didn't eat them all), then Mom would make the cobbler. Seems like the picking was the hard part, judging by the amount of blood those stickers could draw. Besides, Mom could whip up a cobbler easy as, er, pie. Ahem, sorry. :rolleyes: Anyway, this is my first attempt - and I added some graham-cracker to the crust. Wow, I feel all growed up.

I went to my little spot this morning and found these...picked a whole bunch!
Then I worked, and then I went to the store and got TWO half-gallons of Breyer's vanilla. Then I went to my parking lot and picked some just-rained-on blackberries AND wineberries too!
I think I will make Wife-of-the-Year twice this week! Not a bad ploy when one's birfday is approaching! :bigsmyl:

Frank, Killdeer once made a coupla mulberry pies that'd knock yer socks off! Yum! It can be done, but mulberries are usually pretty mild. Guess it depends on the particular tree, how much rain, how much sun, quality o' the soil, etc..
Bart, you gonna eat that? How 'bout that fish layin' there on the stove next to it?...

Oh, Kain-tuck, we don't do chiggers here.

The pie looks great Bart! I haven't had a really good blackberry cobbler since my granny (God bless her lovin' heart) passed away. :(

Take any fruit in heavy syrup (16oz can)
I box yella cake mix
and 1 can sprite or 7up
Line oven with foil for easy clean up.
Pour in fruit, pour cake mix fairly evenly over fruit, pour soda around into cake mix (no need to mix it up).
I use charcoal for this because it's easier to regulate the heat and put 15 briquets on the top and 13 underneath (That will give you right at 375 degrees) for about 20 minutes.
Good stuff and you don't have to dig no holes

Yes, I did get to go picking again... this time I brought a partner, my pal Sadie. Notice the Carhardt Berry-Picking Overalls and the stained fingers!

Sprite? :saywhat:
I'll be making up a show schedule next spring and if you are going to be coming to one where we will be set up, let me know and I'll be happy to make you one on the spot!
I love your buddy Bart. I'm a sucker for a pretty hound. I raised, hunted, trained, and sold beagles for about 15 years. When my best dog was killed it just took the heart out of me for it and I gave it up :(

I was razzing Bart, as he has cooked me many a meal with Sprite as his "secret" ingredient. Yesterday I found these by smell,from 40 yards! It would have been churlish of me to spurn such a fine gift, right?

Sadie looks as though she might be tempted to try those berries, Bart. Not a bad thing to have a motivated hunting dog!
