Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an eight-inch square or nine-inch round baking dish with the soft butter.
Step 2
Mix the apricots, blackberries and lemon juice together. Toss with the sugar, cornstarch and half the ginger and spread in the baking dish.
Step 3
Mix flour, remaining ginger and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Lightly stir in milk to form a tender dough. Roll out dough to the thickness of three-eights of an inch on a floured board and cut in strips one-inch wide. Criss-cross strips over the fruit.
Step 4
Bake 40 minutes, until crust has browned and filling bubbles. Allow to cool to lukewarm, then serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

A great cobbler recipe. This is one of the very best of the many I've tried--easy, and flavorful. (If you don't have self-rising flour, substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/4 tsp. salt.) I added grated lemon zest to the blackberries, and 1 tsp. ground cardamom, in addition to the ginger. I was in a hurry, so made the dough mixture into small patties and put them on top of the blackberries. The texture is crunchy, contrasting with the plump berries.

I made this exactly as instructed. Absolutely delicious. Used a deep dish pie pan. Perfect mix of sweet and tart flavors.
