Blackberries Cobbler

 Black berries are so good just eating by themselves.... but even better in a pie or a juicy cobbler

Let's make a easy cobbler



Ingredients:

6 to 8 cups fresh or frozen blackberries




1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1 stick melted butter



Add to the mixture and stir well

1/4 cup corn starch 

2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice

1 to 2 tablespoons blackberry liqueur, optional



Adding sugar mixture and blend together and pour in a baking dish




Roll out your pie crust to fix your baking dish....1 box ready made pie crust


Lay on top and brush the crust with egg yolks and bake at 350 until golden brown


If you don't like the seeds just cover the berries with water, boil the berries about 10 mins  on  medium heat.



Take out some of the berries as much at you want. keep the juice and pour the sugar mixture into it then berries juice and pour in a baking dish and cover with crust. you may need a little more corn starch for thickness.( about 1 tablespoon more).
