Picnic Berry Cobbler
Grab some jars and make this perfect packable Picnic Berry Cobbler. Summertime is the time for picnics. Did you sign up to bring a dessert to the family picnic? Why not package them in half pint jars? They’re portable, fun and there’s enough room on top for ice cream!
This Picnic Berry Cobbler can be made with fresh or frozen berries. When you first put them together they will be piled to the top with berries but don’t worry once the berries bake down they become half the size of the jar (which makes the perfect single serving), just enough room for a big scoop of ice cream. The addition of the butter on top creates a butter cookie topping. Crunchy with tons of butter flavor.

I love desserts in individual jars….perfect for summer get togethers!
Hi Cheryl. these portable desserts look amazing. Have a question about the ingredient list: you list blueberries twice; is that correct? are you referring to either just blueberries or a combo or black- and blueberries? Thanks.
Hi Polly, thanks for pointing that out. I changed it to raspberries. 🙂
Do you put the mason jars right on the rack when cooking or put them on a baking sheet? I am not a very experienced baker 🙂
Hi Nancy, for stability I put them on a baking sheet.
Is it safe to bake glass jars in an oven? I do not know why I think they would crack or break in the oven- unless state ovenproof of course? Where do you get your jars?
Hi Jacey, Mason jars are tempered for high heat. They were originally made to preserve food in which has to be boiled.
Sheryl, question after baking these can they be sealed in a water bath to be preserved for a later date?
Hi Tracy, I would be very careful about that. I wouldn’t think so because of the dough.
Do you know how long these will keep in the jar? I would have to make more than I can make at one time.
Hi Kristi, Three days before your event is probably a good amount of time.
I’m making about 200 of these in March for a wedding should I store in refrigerator
Hi Pamela, WOW that’s a lot of cobbler. Yes, store them in the refrigerator until the big day.
How long can they be refrigerated for?
Hi Rebecca, No longer then a week.
