Notes
A 10" cast iron skillet will work as well but may require less cooking time.
Frozen blackberries may be substituted for fresh. Add 5-10 minutes if the berries are still frozen when placed in the oven. If the berries are thawed, the cook time should remain the same.
A 9x9 square pyrex baking pan or a deep dish pie plate may be substituted for the cast iron skillet.
