Showing You How To Give Up Sodium Without Giving Up Your Life
Blackberry Cobbler
Blackberries and raspberries are in season and available at a good price right now in stores and farmer's markets. Or if you happen to be lucky like us and have wild ones growing nearby and don't mind a few scratches (I really shouldn't have worn shorts) they are even cheaper.
2 T Cornstarch
1/4 c Cold Water
1 c Sugar
1 T Lemon Juice
4 c Blackberries
1 c Flour
1/2 c Sugar
1 t Sodium Free Baking Powder
6 T Unsalted Margarine
1/4 c Boiling Water
In a saucepan, stir together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Add 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, and blackberries; combine gently. In a bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar and baking powder. Blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1/4 cup boiling water and stir the mixture until it just forms a dough. Bring the blackberry mixture to a boil, stirring. Transfer to a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the dough carefully onto the mixture, and bake the cobbler on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 400 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
