How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 475.
  • Lightly butter a square baking dish.
  • Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large heavy saucepan.
  • Gently stir in blackberries and orange juice.
  • Over medium heat bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until it is melted.
  • Set aside and keep warm.
  • Roll out half the pastry as for a pie but cut it into an 8-inch square.

  • Cover with the pastry square.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon remaining blackberry mixture over the baked pastry.

  • Arrange strips in a loose lattice weave over the blackberry mixture.
  • Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar if desired.
  • Bake an additional 20 minutes or until browned.

    This is absolutely the best blackberry cobbler I have ever made, or eaten for that matter. Thanks for this wonderful recipe. Everyone needs to give it a try, just delish!

    It really doesn't alter the taste much. I'm guessing apple juice would be just as good. I made it exactly by the recipe and it was fantastic. Hope you enjoy it.

    The recipe sounds wonderful but I've never put
    orange juice in my Blackberry cobbler or pie. What does it do to the taste if you don't mind my asking? I've used apple juice or cider in apple pie if my apples arent too great but this is new to me. Got me curious now so I'll have to try it but think I'll wait till I find out what the OJ does to it since my hubby isn't too open to change of his favorite foods :)
