I can't figure out why you would use water...I was wondering if I was supposed to soak the blackberries and then drain? I got worried I'd be wasting my whole cobbler by pouring watered down blackberries on top of the batter, so I didn't follow the directions. Could someone tell me what happens to the water if the recipe is followed? Thanks

Hi Jayne,

The water combined with the sugar makes a syrup, and the blackberries help flavor the syrup, much like what you would have if you had opened a can of blackberries.
