Do you love berry cobbler? To me, nothing says summer like fresh fruit, especially berries. I love going to the farmers’ market and local farm stores and seeing the variety of seasonal fruit. Being in Kentucky, we are used to seeing a full harvest of various fruits and vegetables, allowing us a colorful array of yummy treats. The hard part is always determining what to make first, especially if I don’t want it to spoil before we can eat everything we picked or purchased. That doesn’t even count keeping up with the various in-season goodies. My favorite is the blackberry and raspberry season, especially since they are very cheap this time of year.
Of course, if you ask my husband, he will say the best part of having fresh fruits in the house is when I start baking. I especially love experimenting with different sorts of berry cobbler. Once you have a good cobbler recipe, you just mix whatever fruit is in season with what you have in your fridge. This is how I came up with the most delightful Lemon Berry Cobbler recipe!
What makes this berry cobbler recipe so unique and special? For one, it takes two summer treats and combines them to make the perfect dessert. You have a fantastic blackberry and raspberry cobbler and a hint of a lovely summer lemonade, allowing you to enjoy two treats in one! Best of all, it is very easy to make, allowing you to quickly get this recipe together for a family weekend or entertain guests.
