MAMA'S BLACKBERRY COBBLER
Alabama has some tasty fresh blackberries. Decades ago, my mama was heading out to pick blackberries to make a cobbler, but she ended up going to the hospital to have me instead. This is her mama's recipe. The blackberries start on top, but then end up tucked under a golden brown crust after it's baked. -Lisa Allen, Joppa, Alabama

BLACKBERRY CRISP
I adapted this comforting dessert from a recipe my mother-in-law gave to me. Hers fed a family with nine growing kids who were never full, so there was never any left. There aren't any leftovers when I make my downsized version, either! -Marliss Lee, Independence, Missouri

Steps:
- (If you are planning to can the jam, prepare waterbath and sterilize jars).
- Clean berries just before using. Add the blackberries and lemon juice to an extra-large saucepan. Mash with a potato masher and simmer for a few minutes, to break down the fruit.
- (Optional, but recommended:) Use a food mill, or press mixture through a fine mesh strainer, into a bowl, to remove seeds.
- Measure out 4 cups of berry juice and add to an extra-large heavy bottomed stock pot. Add 2-3 spoonfuls of the leftover seeds for blackberry "jam". (Jelly uses the juice only).
- Add sugar and stir to combine. Turn burner to medium low, stirring occasionally, cooking for several minutes until sugar has dissolved.
- Increase the heat to medium high, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil (a rolling boil that can't be stirred down).
- Add the pouch of pectin, stirring continuously, and allow to return to a full boil. Set a timer for 1 minute, stirring continuously, and remove from the heat after 1 minute.
- Pour jam into prepared jars and seal with lids.
- For Freezer Blackberry Jam: Allow the jam to cool at room temperature for 24 hours, then store in the fridge for up to 1 month, or the freezer for up to 1 year.
- To Can: Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (or longer if at high altitude*). Allow to rest on your counter for 24 hours, to ensure the jars settle and seal properly. Check seals, and store jam in a cool, dry place for up to one year.

BLACKBERRY NECTAR
This is another recipe that I found in an old cookbook belonging to my Mom. I can't wait to try this one! I was totally clueless and had never heard of Tartaric Acid, so I went to the experts here on the forum. The general consensus is that Tartaric Acid is the same thing as Cream of Tartar. Prep time includes letting the berries sit for 24 hours. I have no idea how much nectar this recipe will make, so I'm totally guessing on the servings. If anyone tries this recipe, please let me know how much it makes.

Steps:
- Dissolve acid in water.
- Pour over the berries.
- Let this sit for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, strain the juice.
- Add 3 cups of sugar for each pint of juice and mix well.
- Bottle the juice.
- To serve, add water to the nectar just like you would with any juice that needs to be diluted.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe blackberries. If you can't find fresh blackberries, you can use frozen blackberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Be careful not to overcook the blackberries. They should be cooked until they are soft and juicy, but not mushy.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to taste. If you like your nectar tart, you can add more sugar. If you prefer a sweeter nectar, you can add less sugar.
- If you want a smoother nectar, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after it has been cooked.
- Blackberry nectar can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Blackberry nectar is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for enjoying on a hot summer day. It is also a great way to use up fresh blackberries.
