Great week, great recipe
It was a huge week for berry lovers, the picking was good. We had a little rain, and the more adventurous pickers got rain-washed berries. Fresh, or anticipating a fabulous dessert, berries just make you smile. Whether the plan is to make a pie, ice cream, smoothie, granita, cobbler, popsicles, cake, or something else, you know its going to be wonderful. Plus, you have the satisfaction of actually picking the fruit yourself. How great are these smiles!
The season is pretty short. The month of June is a good rule of thumb for remembering when they are ripe. Sometimes it can reach to the 4th of July, but not every year, so there may be only two weeks left, including this one. Rain or shine, pick them while you can! Luckily berries freeze really well.
Hours and dates in the near future are:
Tuesday June 19th, Thursday the 21st, Sunday the 24th and Thursday the 28th
7-11AM and 5-9PM on each of those days. We’ll see how it looks on the 28th and will post if there are berries to be picked on July 1st.
Slideshow below recipe
Below is a slideshow of some, not all, of the great people who came out this past week. We had the Active Life group on the 12th, and then Father’s Day proved popular with lots of Dads and their families. Some came early to pick specifically for a super “Dad” dessert and cobbler seemed to be the number one request. Undeniably, it is “cooking with love” if you take the time to pick the berries yourself. There are numerous ways to make a cobbler, and all are delicious. Here is a cobbler recipe that I use that is the same whether I use blackberries, blueberries or a combination. It has always turned out great. (I double it and it fits nicely in a regular long pyrex baking dish.)
