In a large bowl, stir together the cornstarch an 1/4 cup cold water until

blackberries, and combine the mixture gently but thoroughly. Transfer to an

cobbler on a foil lined baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 400f oven
for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden. Serve warm with vanilla
ice cream.
