Homemade Blackberry Cobbler Serving Suggestions
The best way to serve cobbler is hot from the oven, topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.
I wanted more blackberry goodness; therefore, I made blackberry syrup for the topping.
What could be better on a hot summer’s day than an old-fashioned blackberry cobbler recipe served with ice cream?

How to Store Blackberry Cobbler
Place the cooled cobbler in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
You can reheat it in the oven or microwave.
