My husband is from Alabama, so I like to treat him to classic Southern desserts. This cobbler is a must-have for us in the summer. —Kimberly Danek Pinkson, San Anselmo, California

Ingredients

  • 5 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1/3 cup turbinado (washed raw) sugar
  • 2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
