Boysenberry Cobbler

Submitted by puppitypup

"My grandparents had what seemed like a mile of boysenberries vines, and I never minded the scratches from picking them 'cause they were so good. One of my favorite memories is the summer my granddaddy wrote Girls'nBerries on each jar we canned. This isn't my grandmother's special recipe I learned as a child, but it's nice since it uses canned berries...fresh boysenberries are so hard to come by anymore. Adapted from a recipe I saw on Mom's Cooking. By the way, I have halved the recipe in a smaller pan and it worked out fine."

This recipe did not turn out as planned. It was a very gooey base with the boysenberries on top. I followed the recipe to the letter. I used a 9x13 pan. Now, the boysenberries were so good, that the sticky bottom was palatable, It tasted like a Korean rice cake. I'm still looking for the right recipe.

I have to admit i just saw this recipe. Looks awesome! Can't wait to try it and living in the Pacific Northwest i have access to boysenberries. This should be great. I'm a bit of a 'crust' person so i'll probably scoop up the wonderful mixture and put it in a dish with a bottom crust...and add a top crust. I still call it cobbler:) Thanks much for the recipe.
