I'm making Leslie's Cobbler this weekend, but I'm using fresh blackberries instead of peaches. The recipe calls for lemon and cinnamon for seas...
...oning for the fruit..I plan on using the lemon, but are there any suggestions for a better spice pairing with blackberries besides the cinnamon?
Thanks

I ended up using the basil flavoring, and tore tiny pieces of fresh basil leaves and placed them throughout the blackberries. I also used zested the lemon and put that into the flour mixture which provided an incredibly flavorful crumble topping.
Thank you for all your suggestions! I tested out the Chinese 5 spice and I'm going to save that for more of a winter blackberry cobbler, (or whenever I'm feeling in a more homey mood), but the basil was refreshing, light, and added a lot of flavor depth to the dish. I'll actually add more leaves next time.
I wasn't able to test out the ginger unfortunately, because I also think that would have a nice light, spring flavor...but I do have two cartons of blackberries leftover, so I believe I can think of something!
Thanks again
