So I’m not much of a cook. I’m also not much of wild fruit scrounger. On my two caribou hunts I’ve spent more time eating blueberries than hunting. Other than that, it’s mostly roadside stands and grocery stores. But I found a fantastic stand of blackberries hiking with the daughter last week. They were still red but already huge by Kansas standards. Today I checked it out again and found that most were still red but some were ripe. The daughter and I ate a bunch and returned home with a nice grocery sack full. So what to do? Well my mother hooked me up with an idiot-proof peach cobbler recipe when I first moved out. I adapted it to blackberries.

First: Berries in the pan.

Second: Mix 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of oatmeal, and 2/3 cup of brown sugar. Pour it over the berries.

Third: Pour 1 stick of melted butter over the dry mix.

Fourth: Bake at 350 for an hour.

It really is the most idiot proof cobbler possible and still very good. Good enough to deal with the briars…
