Blackberry (or Peach) Cobbler

5 cups fresh or frozen blackberries  

(fresh or frozen peaches.  However… frozen peaches are the easiest to deal with…)

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup water 

8 tablespoons butter 

1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour 
1 1/2 cups milk 

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 cup large-crystal baking sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the blackberries (or peaches), 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix. 

Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. 

Remove from the heat.

Put the butter in a 9X13 baking dish and place in oven to melt butter and get the baking dish hot.

Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, self-rising flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping.  

Let sit a few minutes and then stir again.  

DO NOT MIX WITH AN ELECTRIC HAND MIXER.

Pour mixture over melted butter.  

DO NOT STIR.

Spoon fruit on top, and gently pour in syrup and any remaining fruit from the saucepan. 

Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon; then the large-crystal baking sugar.

Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.

To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
