BLACKBERRY COBBLER 
Pastry for double crust pie
4 c. fresh blackberries
2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
4 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 c. hot water
4 tbsp. butter, divided

Roll out half of pastry and cut into 1 inch wide strips. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees about 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine blackberries, sugar, nutmeg, vinegar, and water; spoon half into a 3 quart baking dish and dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Place baked pastry strips on top. Cover with remaining berry mixture and dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter.

Roll out remaining pastry and cut into 1 inch wide strips; arrange lattice- fashion on top of cobbler. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and bake 1 hour. Yield: 8 servings.

Only reason I gave this recipe a 4 and not a 5 is because it calls for too much sugar. Extrememly sweet! However, the texture, consistency, and ease of baking make it delicious.

Loved it! Had tasted a berry prior and decided to go with almost the whole 2 cups. Oh my, so tasty. I did sprinkle the pre-baked strips of crust with cinnamon and sugar before baking. They were a real treat down in the middle.

I really liked this recipe. This is the way my grandmother made cobblers. I did make a few changes such as using frozen berries, increasing the hot water, and maybe would increase it even more to 1 1/4 cups, and I added about 2 Tbsp of cornstarch. I simply placed the second pastry crust on top, not latticed with strips, to save time. I pricked it several places with the fork and sprinkled it with sugar. Also the last baking time was shortened by about 15-20 minutes because I was in a time crunch, and that seemed to be plenty. I think also I might cut the vinegar back by 1/4. It takes a little more work, but this is far better to me (juicier, etc.) than the lazy cobbler mostly made today. Use of the frozen pastry dough could reduce the work as I made mine from scratch.
