Gigantic Blackberries
This is the first year I have had a nice batch of blackberries off my thornless bush. I’m extremely proud of this plant-I started it from a little bitty 2 leaf start. Now 3 years later I picked a gallon and probably will have another gallon over the next couple days. The only thing I could do with this many berries is either freeze (no time) or bake (better option).
preheat oven to 375′, grease a 13×9 baking pan
2 pints berries,carefully washed/rinsed
1 cup sugar with 2 TB cornstarch mixed in
Stir in a large bowl and let set while you mix the topping.
in bowl, microwave 1/2 cup butter until soft and about 1/3 melted
mix in 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups oats
1 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
mix with a fork until clumpy
pour berries into pan-crumble topping over berries and bake 30-45 minutes until fully bubbly and topping is golden brown.
Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving ,and top with vanilla ic cream!
I made this, except I did a few things different. It’s a little late in the season for blackberries, so I went to the freezer. I didn’t have blackberries, so I used Marion berries. I would recommend thawing them first, at least a little. I increased the sugar that is mixed with the berries (as marions are a little more tart than blackberries). Turned out really good though! Thanks for the recipe! We’ll try it with blackberries next year!
