Refreshing Lemonade

This is my all time favorite lemonade recipe! I have made this numerous times this summer in different variations. Summer is coming to an end, but it is still HOT as ever in Fresno!

This recipe serves 2-4

Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup simple syrup (boil 1 cup sugar with 1 cup water until sugar dissolves)
  • 3-5 cups water depending on how tart you like your lemonade (I use 4)
Chill & enjoy

My Variations
  • Instead of mixing lemon juice and simple syrup with 4 cups water I sometimes mix with tea (I use green tea, but any tea is great)
    • I steep 6 tea bags in 4 cups of water for about 5 minutes
  • For a fun adult beverage I mix one shot of boubon into an 8oz glass :)
  • Add a few sprigs of fresh lavander for a beautiful garnish

Blackberry Cobbler

I also made this for my dad's 50th! everyone LOVED it! Great served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
I found this recipe in my Pioneer Woman cookbook!
Ingredients

1 stick Butter
1-¼ cup Sugar
1 cup Self-Rising Flour
1 cup Milk
2 cups Blackberries (frozen Or Fresh)
Preparation Instructions

Melt butter in a microwavable dish. Pour 1 cup of sugar and flour into a mixing bowl, whisking in milk. Mix well. Then, pour in melted butter and whisk it all well together. Butter a baking dish.

Now rinse and pat dry the blackberries. Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish. Sprinkle blackberries over the top of the batter; distributing evenly. Sprinkle ¼ cup sugar over the top.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until golden and bubbly. If you desire, sprinkle an additional teaspoon of sugar over the cobbler 10 minutes before it’s done.
