The beginning of June is blackberry time. Every year I go to the local “You Pick” farm and pick at least a flat. And, every year when I get home with all of the blackberries I wonder, “What were you thinking?” I freeze it, make jam, make a few cobblers, and make a few pitchers of blackberry-lemonade. That, my dears, is enough already.
Yet, every year I go back and pick. This year I feel like I have a better plan. Our Christmas gifts will be homemade jams and jellies. I already have twelve half pints of strawberry jam put away. I plan on making blackberry (of course) and peach jam along with grape jelly when our grapes produce.
But, back to the blackberries, I found this recipe on Tim Love’s website for Blackberry and Thyme Clafoutis: http://www.cheftimlove.com/Press/InStyle051910.pdf
I think it sounds a little more spectacular than cobbler.
