I just fixed this for my wife's birthday.
9 c blackberries, frozen, unsweetened
1/2 tsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 1/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbs cornstarch
4 Tbs Butter
Pastry prepared in two stages for bottom and top of 13x9 glass pan
Prepare Filling
1. Thaw blackberries in package. Add blackberries to large bowl and add lemon juice and almond extract. Mix briefly. Mix together sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch. Mix sugar mixture into blackberry mixture and set aside.
Pre heat oven to 450 degrees
Assemble Cobbler
1. Prepare bottom crust (your recipe) for 13x9 glass pan and place in pan. Trim edges. Prepare top crust (your recipe). Roll onto rolling pin. Pour filling into crust lined 13x9 glass pan. Dot with 2 Tbs of butter, evenly in small pieces. Top with prepared top crust and trim edges. Flute crust edges. Sprinkle with a little sugar and dot top of crust with small pieces of remaining butter. Place into pre heated oven and cook at 450 degrees for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for approximately 1 additional hour.
Note: This makes a cobbler that is sweet, but not as sweet as some I've tasted. You might want to add 1/4 cup sugar extra if you like cobblers that are pretty sweet; also add extra sugar if the berries are quite tart.
