Mulberry Cobbler
After more than 20 years of putting up with messy wild Mulberry trees, I finally decided to do something about it. I made Mulberry Cobbler! The best part about making this was the quality time with my granddaughter collecting the Mulberries! This recipe is so different to make. The cake batter is poured onto the bottom of the pan then everything else goes on top including the boiling water! As it cooks, the cake batter rises up to cover most of the Mulberries but still leaves the delicious Mulberry filling in tact!

I started by waiting for the Mulberries to ripen.
You can pick the Mulberries or lay a sheet of plastic under
the tree. Then, my granddaughters favorite part,
shake the branches so the berries drop onto the plastic sheet.
Pick through the mulberries only saving the ripe and unblemished ones.
The little green stems don’t come off easily so leave them on. They will cook
up in the oven so you can just eat them with the cobbler. Keep in mind this
is a very messy job and you may want to wear gloves. Now onto the recipe.
Ingredients
In a mixing bowl add 1 cup sugar
and 4 Tbsp. of butter.
Mix on medium low speed until the
butter is mixed into the sugar.
Slowly add the milk mixing until combined.
Whisk together the flour,
baking powder and salt.
Add the flour mixture a heaping tablespoon
at a time to the milk mixture beating on
slow speed until thick and smooth.
Spray a 9” x 13” baking pan with cooking oil.
Pour the batter into the pan evenly.
Place the mulberries single file over the batter.
Combine the remaining
sugar with the cinnamon.
Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly
over the mulberries.
Pour boiling water evenly over the top.
Dot with the remaining butter.
Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven
for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm or cold.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Isn’t it? I can’t believe all these years I have never made something with them until now! Thanks so much Judilyn!
That sounds really delicious and should come with a license to enjoy it. I have decided to open my walled gardens to photo shoots as now almost completed under vast cost and work be me once grown an extra income to pensions. This exact recipe will be used in the art of entertaining in the way of attracting customers to use my gardens for weddings and fashion shows in an Edwardian 1911 English garden in sunny Europe. 98f today and rain this morning for first time in weeks.lovely. Mulberry cobbler is indeed just the ticket to success ,thank you dear lady.
You are very welcome Kevin! What a fabulous way for extra income but more than that a way to showcase all your hard work!
We have a mulberry bush at work – I wonder if anyone would mind me borrowing some!!
I wish I had made this recipe years ago because it was so good. You should take the berries, make the cobbler and share it with your co-workers! It makes a 13″ x 9″ pan full.
Yum! Happy memories of climbing in our mulberry tree—coming home stained purple! So sweet to see your granddaughter involved 🙂
You have wonderful memories! Yes my granddaughter told me how special this was for her and me to do by ourselves. That meant so much but then she wouldn’t even try the cobbler! 🤣😂🤣
I’ve never had mulberry. They are messy trees though – we had one in our yard.
Oh yes they stain horribly! My husband cuts grass and they will drop on his shirt…instant stain. I think that’s why so few people actually use them to eat but I’m telling you, this was delicious!
Our mulberry tree has died, so I won’t get to try this very interesting sounding recipe. The only other recipe I’ve seen that had you pouring hot water over the top is my aunt’s double fudge pudding. Have you tried making this cobbler recipe using any fruits other than mulberries? Just curious.
No I haven’t but I am certain any would work. Raspberries would be wonderful and I wouldn’t change anything. If you would use strawberries or blueberries I think I would use less sugar because they are so sweet.
We have mulberry trees all over my dads farm I appreciate the great idea!
You’re welcome! This was a delicious sweet dessert!
It sounds like your granddaughter had fun with this. I cut all the mulberry bushes down because they were so messy and the birds kept pooping purple all over my patio, picnic table etc. I probably won’t try this one, too much work for me.
You can substitute other berries. Raspberries, blueberries, blackberries etc. would work just as well but if it is a sweeter fruit I would cut back on the sugar some.
Good to know. I have a bunch of blueberries, but want to try your other recipe for blueberry cobbler or buckle??
http://indianeskitchen.com/2018/07/27/old-fashion-blueberry-grunt This Blueberry Grunt was very good and cooks in a pan on top of the stove. http://indianeskitchen.com/2018/10/23/blueberry-or-blackberry-cobbler This Blueberry Cobbler Is very good too and bakes in a 2 quart casserole dish in the oven. I think the blueberries would be better in this recipe than the one with the mulberries.
I will have to decide which one to make. Thanks.
Yummy!!
Thank you! 💕
It looks so good! The trees are lovely! That’s a great blessing to have those berries growing behind your backyard! 🙂 thanks for cooking and sharing with us via blog post haha! 😛
You are so welcome Tammy!
<3 🙂
It looks amazing, Diane. I have always wanted a mulberry tree, because I know that the birds would love it, and visit our yard. Maybe they would leave us a few berries, too, but I doubt it. 🙂
Oh yes the birds LOVE them and there is plenty for everyone……however……mulberries stain just by touching them and when the birds eat them guess what color comes out in the other end? There is purple poop everywhere…lol
Purple poo?! How cools is that?! 😊
🤣😂🤣😂
I don’t think I’ve ever had mulberries! Sounds like a fun time gathering them!
It was a blast! My granddaughter thought it was pretty cool getting all purple colored! Thank you Kristen!
Looks like fun! The Cobbler looks yummy! 💕
Yes it was a fun time with my granddaughter and it tasted really good! Thanks Bernice!
💕💕💕
Quick question–how do mulberries differ from blackberries?
Either way, the entire process looks like fun.
Mulberries grow on a tree and blackberries grow on bushes. Blackberries, in my opinion, have more flavor. You could use blackberries in place of mulberries in this recipe.

Thank you Sumit!
There are a few mulberry bushes at Council Point Park and a couple of walker there pick ’em and eat ’em on the spot each year, plus they take some to go. I also see the squirrels and woodchuck crawling up high to get at them.
Oh yes they are a definite critter treat! If you see purple poop it means they helped themselves to the berries…lol
I have never had a mulberry so I was curious what do they taste like? Blackberries?
Not really they have a milder but sweet taste. There really is nothing I can compare them to. Mulberries grow on trees and Blackberries on a bush.
This looks so tasty and really easy to sub the dairy for non-dairy alternatives! Would it work with other berries? I love mulberries but don’t have a beautiful tree like yours.
Absolutely you can use other types of berries. You may need to adjust the sugar. As you know mulberries aren’t as sweet as say blueberries etc.
Yum! Definitely going to try this out!
Enjoy it is really tasty! Thank you!
Looks so yummy! It is so nice to use home-grown fresh mulberries.
Yes it was nice to use our own mulberries and they are free! hahaha Thanks a lot!
Looks yummy… gonna try it … you’re doing a good job..for foodies like me..
Awe thanks Kelvin!
I’ve heard that if you rub a green mulberry over mulberry stained fingers it removes the stain. Worth a try.
OMG now I have to try that! When we were finished picking there was a small bug on one and I picked it off and squished it. It changed the purple color on my finger!
I was less reading and scanning through photos repeatedly. Though, photos takes more space in WordPress than mere text, but these recipes deserves the visual taste. The main idea is any berry, cinnamon, butter and cake. Thank you for the berry recipe.
Thank you for your nice comment and for looking at my blog!
Your tree looks loaded with mulberries! I love your method of laying down plastic and shaking the branches.
It is so simple that way. However, it takes a little time picking through them this way. Thanks!
This looks good! I have saved the recipe to try when we get home.
Wonderful let me know how you like it when you make it.
What an interesting recipe. I’ve never read a recipe where you pour boiling water over the top. Sounds like a yummy dessert!
I didn’t expect it to work but it did and it tasted great. Thank you Katelon!
Oh my, this looks so so good.
It really was and I was thinking it would be good with blackberries too! Thank you!
