Hello! In the kitchen with Sharon this week I am making blackberry cobbler. A good friend of mine gave me these blackberries and I have had them in my freezer. I ran across this recipe and thought it was time to make blackberry cobbler. Wow it is so good, and what’s even better there are not too many ingredients and it’s easy to make.

Bake it and serve with ice cream and you’ve got something delicious. You all need to try this. I hope you all enjoy.

Have a great weekend!

Please send me your favorite recipes and I will put you in the kitchen with Sharon. Send them to [email protected] or call me at 937-393-3456.

Editor’s note — By the way, if case you’re wondering how many peaches to use for a peach cobbler, it’s three cups. It was inadvertently left out of last week’s column.
