Hey, sure do enjoy this, especially blackberry recipes. My husband (Sonny) and I just bought a John Deere 4 wheel drive Gator. So we are using it to pick blackberries. We go in fields and back up to the vines and pick. We love it. I usually make blackberry jam , but will try the cobbler recipe. We live in Martin Co. in eastern Ky. and there are lots of back roads and strip mine sites where the wild berry vines grow. I always helped my Mom pick when I was a little girl, and the chiggers were the worst part of it and an occassional run in with a snake. I will be in touch and keeping up with this blog, love it.

Hello Sharon,
Thank you for inviting me to share from my cooking diary!
Today I’d enjoy sharing the newest pie recipe for this 2007 summer from my kitchen to yours…
Blueberry cream cheese pie
Crust for 2 pies:
3 cups self-rising flour plus 2 pinches iodized salt
2 tablespoons sugar (divided in half)
2 sticks butter softened (1 for each crust)
1/2 cup ice water (divided in half)
Note: I divide this to make sure the crusts are even. You can make the crust a few days ahead if you wish.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, butter and ice water. Knead the ingredients by hand until smooth, adding ice water as needed. Referigerate until ready to use.
On a floured board, roll dough and cut 2 crusts to size of pie plate.
Blueberry filling for two pies
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup sugar
Dash vanilla
1/2 cup blueberry juice
1/4 cup tapioca
1 packet Knox gelatin
In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients. Pour into a crust-lined pie plate pour into crust that has been lined with one container regular soft cream cheese. Cover with top crust. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.
