  2. Blackberry Cheesecake Bars Recipe

    Ingredients
    2 cups flour
    2 cups quick cooking oats
    1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1-1/2 cups butter or margarine

    1 can blackberry fruit filling or topping in light syrup
    2 Tbsp cornstarch

    2 pkg (8 ounces each) cream cheese, at room temperature
    2 eggs, at room temperature
    1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
    2 tsp vanilla
    1 tsp lemon juice

    Instructions
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with non-stick foil.

    Strain blackberries over a bowl and reserve juice. Press berries through a fine mesh sieve into the juice to remove the seeds. Add cornstarch and mix until smooth. In a saucepan, bring berry mixture slowly to simmer, stirring constantly until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool.

    Combine flour, oats, sugar, soda and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press half of mixture into baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool cool slightly.

    Blend cream cheese, eggs, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth.

    Spread blackberry mixture evenly over bottom crust. Place dollops of cream cheese mixture evenly over blackberry mix and swirl gently. Top with other half of crumb mixture. Bake 45 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Lift out bars by the foil insert and cut into bars. Refrigerate until chilled before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.

    Yield: 24 to 36 pieces

  3. Although I don’t know of any specific recipes for blackberry stuffing, I would suggest that you use a stuffing recipe that calls for cranberries, dried fruit or raisins and substitute blackberries for the other fruit. Obviously cranberries – and other fruit – would give a slightly different taste, but I think it should still taste good (especially if you taste it and adjust the seasoning to your preference).

    I found the following recipe on cdkitchen.com and think you might start with this one, substituting the blackberries for the cranberries.

    You could also try a recipe that calls for a sauce that’s good with meat and made with blackberries, like the following (from about.com):

    “best blackberry muffins”
    2 cups all purpose flour
    1 Tbsp baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 large eggs
    1 cup sour cream
    1 teaspoon milk
    2/3 cup sugar
    8 Tbsp warm melted butter (1 stick)
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    11 oz of fresh blackberries, cut in half (often available at Trader Joe’s)
    (You can use frozen blackberries if fresh are not available.)
    —————————————-
    1. Position rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. 2. Grease a standard 12 muffin pan or line with paper muffin cups. (Actually, with the berries you’ll have more batter than just for 12 muffins. This batch made 18 muffins.)
    2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
    3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, milk, sugar, butter and vanilla.
    4. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix together with a few light strokes, just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Add the berries. (If you are using frozen berries, defrost them first, then drain the excess liquid, then coat them lightly in flour.) Do not overmix! Overmixing will cause the muffins to be dense, not fluffy. The batter should not be smooth.
    5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of 1 or 2 of the muffins comes out clean, 17-20 minutes (or longer). Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan. If not serving hot, let cool on a rack.
    6. Serve as soon as possible, preferably within a few hours of baking.
