Swimming in Figs and Blackberries!

I have Mission figs (the black kind) in the backyard and Kadota (green) in the front. Both are wonderful.

I don't like the seeds, but I love blackberry cobbler. My Great Aunt served it at dinners and I could never find a recipe for it. I found one that reminds me of her. I've made it as a cobbler and used it as syrup and over vanilla ice cream. It works well for that too!
Seedless Blackberry Cobbler
4 cups heaping blackberries
water to cover berries
let berries come to a boil and boil for a few minutes to make juice
put cooked berries through a sieve and mash berries, saving the juice in a large bowl.
Put berry juice back in pan that you cooked berries in.
Add:
1 cup sugar to juice
3 TBSP heaping flour
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter
dash salt
Whisk in and cook until slightly thick.
Put pie crust on bottom of dish
add slightly cooled berry juice
put pie crust on top of berry juice
sprinkle with sugar and slit crust
Bake 375 degrees F until crust is golden brown.
Serve in bowls with vanilla ice cream!! Wonderful and no blackberry seeds between your teeth!!
