blackberry cobbler in tiny mason jars + a ten on ten reminder

After our blackberry picking adventure the kids wanted to make a pie. I didn't have the patience for it though so I convinced them to try cobbler instead and sealed the deal with these individual servings in tiny mason jars. We loved these and will be making them again they were so easy and so fun!

Blackberry Cobbler in Tiny Mason Jars (serves 6)

for filling:
3 cups of blackberries
3 Tbls of white sugar
1/4 cup of orange juice
1 Tablespoon of cornstarch
dash of cinnamon (optional)

for topping:
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of softened butter
1 egg
1/4 tsp of vanilla extract
2/3 cup of flour
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
dash of salt
dash of cinnamon (optional)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, mix 3 cups of blackberries with three tablespoons of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of orange juice. Separate the berries into each jar and place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until the berries are bubbly.

In the mean time add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 stick of softened butter to a stand mixer and cream until light and fluffy. Add in one egg and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until nicely blended. Remove from mixer and gently fold in 2/3 cup of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder dash of cinnamon and a pinch of salt.

Drop the cake mixture by the spoonful evenly over the jars of bubbling berries and return to the oven. Bake for another 20-25 minutes until the cake topping is golden and the berries are bubbly.
