Berry Cobbler.... and the benefits of berries!!!

Berries are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. One cup of strawberries has over 100 milligrams of Vitamin C, about as much as a cup of OJ. Vitamin C is great for immune system function, especially good in the season of colds! Strawberries also add a bit of calcium, magnesium, folate, and potassium, and only 53 calories! One cup of blueberries has a little less vitamin C, some Vitamin E, and they trigger antioxidant activity which are thought to prevent some types of cancer. Last tidbit for berries on this post is the huckleberry, which is high in Vitamin A, B, and C, also potassium and iron which help out with various body functions. Also they are found to help in the treatment of diseases like peptic ulcers, hemorrhoids, glaucoma, muscular degeneration and varicose veins.
This Cobbler has raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, huckleberries, and I threw in a few black cherries. All were in my freezer from summer picking. You can choose your own berries, but I like to have a mixture of as many berries I can find.
Recipe: you will need (3 1/3 cups berries, 1 1/4 cups sugar divided, 2 t. cornstarch, 1 cup flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 t. salt, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter)
Preheat oven to 375.
I used about 2/3 of a cup of each berry. I had a little less raspberries than this so I put a little more huckleberries in.
Put in a large pot and cook on medium. Pour in about 1/4 cup of sugar.

Cook until juices have seeped out and it looks like berry soup. I used frozen berries so it had to cook a little longer, if using fresh just watch your cooking time. It took me about 7-8 minutes.

Take out about 1/4 cup of the juice before it gets hot. Mix in 2 teaspoons of cornstarch until there are no clumps. If you mix the cornstarch when the berry juice is hot, it will clump up. Pour mixture back in the pot and stir. Heat until low simmering, then turn off heat.
Mix 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt until blended.
Stir in 1 cup of milk.
Cut up 1/4 cup of butter and place in the bottom of a 8×10 pan.
Pour berry mixture in the pan.
Spoon batter over the top of the berries.

Place in oven and cook for 10 minutes. Open oven and sprinkle sugar over the top.
Bake for another 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
