Summer Double Berry Cobbler & Berry Picking in Baker, FL

Some of my favorite summer memories are picking berries in Baker, FL with my parents.
Strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries grow like weeds in this
area and we would fill buckets full of whatever sweet berry was in
season. I even spent a birthday here as a teen. After a day of canoeing my parents brought my friends and I to Baker for berry picking and we had a blast!

This cobbler is one of my favorite dishes to make with the fresh picked berries (along with blueberry pancakes on Sunday morning!).

Ingredients:

3 cups blueberries, rinsed
3 cups blackberries, rinsed
1 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt

Crumble:

1 stick or 8 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sliced almonds
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl gently mix together cleaned berries, cornstarch, lemon juice, salt, and sugar.
Spread berries into a 8X8 baking dish.
In a mixing bowl cream together softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
Add all remaining ingredients for the crumble topping to the bowl.
Use your fingers to blend together the ingredients to make a crumble.
Sprinkle topping over berries and bake for 60 minutes until brown and bubbly.
Serve warm with ice cream for a sweet summer dessert!
