Boysenberry Cobbler

Come late spring, our boysenberry vines start giving up their berries, a few cups a day. What to make with them? Boysenberry cobbler. Quick and easy, this recipe produces a delicious cobbler, a formidable blow to any low carb diet. The cobbler is similar in its irresistible yumminess to strawberry shortcake and I expect that later in the season we'll be applying it to blackberries as well.

The boysenberries you are using must be different from ours,1 cup of sugar does not sweeten 4 cups of berries.Ours are very tart.I don't know the variety of them,just they are very very tart.

Margaret - I guess the thing to do is to adjust the sugar for the sweetness of the berries, or only pick the ripest ones which also tend to be the sweetest.

I live in Stockton, California. Where can I find marionberries in and around Troutdale, Oregon? I used to pick all the berries you can think of. Thank you.

Hi Grace -

Marionberries (or Marion Blackberries) grow wild in Oregon, but they don't in California. They need cold winters to thrive. You might checking around local berry farms in the foothills. I found one outside Placerville that grows a lot of marion berries. The Summerfield Berry Farm. Phone: 800-251-2451. You can look up references to them online. Marionberries are delicious, aren't they? Full of juice and not seedy.
