Grandma Rose's Blackberry Cobbler

Grandma Rose's Blackberry Cobbler

This is my Grandma Rose's famous recipe. Our family loves this mouth-watering dessert so much that when Kathy and had our baby girl we named her after Katie Rose after my Grandmother Margret Rose.  If this recipe gets around there may be many more Rosies in the world!

Fresh Berries at The Pike Street Farmer's Market, in Seattle.  I had my first bite of this wonderful Cobbler a few miles north of this location, in Mukilteo Washington.  You can use this versatile recipe with any fresh berries or fruit.  Thanks Grandma!
