Aunt Sarah’s Blueberry Cobbler

May 28

Blueberries have always marked the quiet beginning of late summer for me. They're the fruit I look forward to all year long—the ones that somehow taste sweeter after a day spent outside, when the evenings invite you to linger just a little longer and dessert is best enjoyed on the porch.

They've become part of our family's story, too. My oldest daughter inherited my love for blueberries from the very beginning. I can still picture her first birthday so clearly, happily picking every blueberry off the cake my sister lovingly made for her, leaving the cake behind in favor of the fruit.

This recipe found me during another unforgettable season of life.

After my second daughter was born, my Aunt Sarah shared this family cobbler recipe with me. It arrived at a time when I was learning, once again, how to care for a newborn while also finding my footing as a mother of two. Looking back, I realize she wasn't simply passing along a dessert—she was offering comfort, encouragement, and a reminder that love is so often shared around the table.

Since then, this cobbler has become part of our family's late-summer traditions. We've baked it for ordinary weeknights, family gatherings, and Fourth of July celebrations up north. Every time I make it, I'm reminded that some of the most meaningful traditions begin with something wonderfully simple.

It is my hope that this recipe finds a place in your home, too. May it be shared with the people you love, carried to backyard dinners and summer celebrations, and perhaps one day passed along to someone who needs a little comfort in their own season of life.

With love,

Katie
