Jerri Green serves an updated version of her inner child’s favorite summer dessert.
By Jerri Green
When I was a little girl my great grandmother had every kind of fruit and veggie imaginable on a small farm in her backyard. From fresh corn to pole beans to watermelon on the vine and cherries in the trees, she had everything. I would sometimes be sent to the hen house for fresh eggs or to the plum tree for an afternoon snack, but my favorite was when I was told to fill up a small bucket with blackberries from the briar patch. This only ever meant one thing – cobbler! Recently, I came across a recipe in Bon Appetit for a blackberry nectarine crisp and it immediately took me back. So here it is, an updated version of my inner child’s favorite summer dessert.

Jerri, you mention adding Vanilla twice–topping, then also to Filling but vanilla only listed as ingredient once. Does it also get added to filling?
Thank you, will be making this.
So sorry. There is no vanilla for the topping. You merely served vanilla flavored ice cream on top at the end.
Your instructions say to add SALT but there is no mention of salt in the ingredients????!!!!
