Berry Berry Good!

This can actually be made with just about any fruit - fresh, canned or frozen. Any berry does well, as do peaches, nectarines, and cherries. If you use canned or frozen fruit make sure that they are completely thawed and/or well drained.

Blackberry Cobbler

2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 tsp double-acting baking powder 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 3/4 cup milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp grated lemon rind Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)

Wash and dry the berries if using fresh, or thaw, drain and dry the frozen berries. Place in the bottom of a 2-quart (2 l) ovenproof casserole or souffle dish. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla, and lemon rind. Mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined. Pour the batter over the berries and bake in the center of a 350 F (180 C) oven for one hour, until the top is browned. Remove from oven and let cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Top individual portions with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired. Serves 4 to 6.
