Now that strawberry season has come to an end for this year, black raspberry season has begun. And there are a lot of black raspberries this year!
I made a berry cobbler to celebrate the first berries. I adapted a recipe from the Food Network website. It is Paula Deen’s Slow Berry Cobbler. It’s a slow cooker recipe that is easy and delicious!
The recipe calls for 3 types of berries, but I used my frozen strawberries (from the last picking) and fresh black raspberries from my raspberry patch. The recipe also called for baking mix, which I do not have. So I made my own using this substitution recipe for Bisquick. It uses just a few simple ingredients that I always have on hand.
I mixed the berries; frozen strawberries and fresh black raspberries.
Stir in sugar and 1/2 cup of the baking mix.
Put the berry mixture in the slow cooker that you sprayed with cooking spray. Then in another bowl mix baking mix, sugar, melted butter and milk.
By the way…I love Snowville milk! It is from a southern Ohio creamery called Snowville Creamery. Check out their website. If you can get their milk in your local grocery store I highly recommend trying it. It is the only milk I buy.
Okay, mooooving on…sorry about the cow joke.
Don’t over stir the mixture.
With your hands drop pieces of dough on the top of the berry mixture in the slow cooker.
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over the top.
Cook on high for 3 hours. The smell of berry cobbler cooking is so amazing. It just smells like home, like summer, like grandma’s house…it smells yummy! And the best way to eat cobbler is with good vanilla ice cream!
