Once again, I'm posting a desert dish! This time though it's extra special... I picked these wild blackberries in the field in front of the home we are building. Amazing! These little morsels grow everywhere in this field. Most of them were still unripe, but I managed to get a bag full of the ones that were black and sweet. I can't wait until this Sunday when we will go back to work on the property and I'll gather much more, for sure!!
Now, what will I make with the next batch? I will probably just use them on top of my granola and eaten straight out of the field...then hopefully, wash and freeze for later use someday.
For the cobbler, I washed and cleaned the berries, then in a medium size bowl added cornstarch, agave syrup, and some raw vegan sugar, and set aside.
Next I mixed together 2 cups of w.w.pastry flour, 1 tsp. alum.-free baking powder, 1/2 tsp. sea salt, 1/2 cup of raw sugar. Then made a hole in the center and added 1/4 cup of canola oil, about 1/2 cup water and a dash of vanilla extract. Mixing quickly and just well enough to moisten flour completely, I set that aside too.
Finally after spraying a square glass baking dish with organic Pam, I added the berry mixture and crumbled the dough mixture on top. I dotted with a few tsp. of "Earths Balance" margarine, and baked @350*degrees for about 40 minutes. Yum!
