Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat an 8×12 baking dish with butter or spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Add the blackberries and granulated sugar to a large saucepot set over medium-high heat. Allow the blackberries to heat, soften, and start to release their juices. Stir often, combining the blackberries with the sugar and allowing for even cooking.
Meanwhile, combine the cornstarch with ¼ cup of water, mixing well. Stir into the simmering blackberries and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Once thickened, stir in the lemon zest, remove from heat, and carefully pour into the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a cheese grater or microblade grater to cut the cold butter into the flour. Use a couple of forks or clean hands to distribute the butter into the flour evenly. Pour in the heavy cream and mix just until combined.
Drop the topping by the spoonful over the top of the blackberry mixture.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Fresh blackberries can be swapped for a mixture of fresh blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
