Two years ago today, I was a June bride. Peter & I got married on June 18th & I really can't believe it's gone by so fast. We had a small wedding with just a few family & friends at my old house in GA & it was perfect. This isn't the first time around for either of us. Peter actually lost his first wife to cancer in 2001 & I've been married before too. It's been a whirlwind, but I'm very thankful we found each other. We plan to spend the rest of our lives together! Thought I'd share a couple of our weddings pics. A friend of mine who I was working with at the time took these pics & she did a wonderful job. I'm so glad we had some great photos to remember the day.
My hubby's been picking blackberries again & in honor of Father's Day, I found a recipe on Food Network for Blackberry Crisp & cooked it up on Sunday. I'll share it in case you want to try it:Fresh Blackberry Crisp
4 cups fresh blackberries
1/2 cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
2 TBL. flour, plus 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter
Preheat oven to 375*. In large bowl, combine blackberries, sugar & lemon juice together with 2 TBL. flour. Pour into deep dish pie plate. In separate bowl, blend remaining 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, & butter. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over berries. Bake for 30 min. until bubbly.
Mine wasn't crumbly when I mixed it all with the butter, but I melted the butter & that's probably why. I think if you let the butter soften & then mix, it would be crumbly. It's absolutely delicious...my hubby raved about it. He liked it a lot better than cobbler, as the berries really are intense in this one. Lots more berries & less crust in this one.
I got to cook it in my brand new Pampered Chef pie plate, which I bought at this weekend's yardsales for $2.00! I love those kinds of bargains.
Berries are the best!

Your blackberry crisp looks yummy! My blackberries are still red. But I'm hoping that soon I'll be able to pick some and make a crisp too.
