This year the blackberries have ripened earlier than the figs...so I'll have to save the fig recipes for later in the summer. This year for the 4th of July I made a Blackberry Cobbler but with Phyllo dough rather than a pie crust dough. You can also use Puff Pastry (or perhaps even make your own puff pastry.) However, I'm into easy before I head to the pool! I'll post pictures of the new cushions I plan to sit upon today...but I'm thinking with the temperature heading to 100+ I'll be spending my day in the water!
Happy 4th...

Ingredients:
• 1 Pkg. Puff Pastry (or Phyllo dough)

1. Defrost (according to directions) Puff Pastry or Phyllo dough.

What a great idea to use puff pastry. That must have made it taste so good. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog till Monday and I'd love it if you'd come by and link your cobbler up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/07/sweets-for-saturday-25.html
Hi Debianne,
I saw this at Lisa's and could't wait to read it. I have a basket of blackberries sitting on my counter needing me to do something with them. This sounds perfect.
Nice to meet you.

Trying this out with blueberries! My 9 year old son did most of the work!
