Southern Blackberry Cobbler with Peaches (optional Bourbon!)
Combine sweet blackberries and Southern peaches in a cobbler that's perfect for any occasion. A little bourbon adds a nice twist to this cake like dessert that's bursting with fruit. A dessert you can enjoy all year long with frozen fruit when fresh is no longer available.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup sugar (divided)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 ¾ cups flour (divided)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups blackberries
- 2 cups fresh peaches (peeled and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- ½ cup toasted pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º. Butter an 8 x 8 baking pan.
- Place butter, brown sugar and ½ cup white sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat at medium speed until creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time and beat until blended. Add vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and beat just until combined. Spread ¾ of the batter into the prepared pan and top with blackberries.
- In a separate bowl, sift together ¼ cup sugar and ¼ cup flour. Add cut peaches and bourbon and stir to coat. Spoon over the blackberries.
- Stir toasted pecans into the remaining batter and spoon over the peach mixture. It does not need to cover completely.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.

Barbara's Notes + Tips
- You can use frozen peaches or blackberries.

- You can leave out the bourbon if you choose or decrease it and add just a dash to enhance the flavors.
- To toast pecans, place them in the oven for about 5 minutes, watching closely so they don't burn.
