Cooking with Peaches

Peach cobbler. One of my favorites.

Totally agree. Very easy dish to fix with the hardest part being cutting the peaches and peeling them to prepare the cobbler.

Peach pie
Peach hand pies
Peach salsa over porkchops
Grilled Peach halves and salmon

Peach bread pudding with some sort of caramel sauce like caramel pecan or caramel bourbon pecan sauce.

Agreed on the grilled halved peaches. Can be with whatever meat/fish veggies you’re grilling. Can be with a salad or just as another side.

I don't have a recipe, but a tip since you don't usually like peaches. That tip is to try peaches from a couple different places before you buy enough for a recipe.

I haven't had a good peach yet this year. Every one I've eaten has been bland and they've been from different sources. Since you always want to cook with best ingredients, I would suggest sampling a few different ones before buying in bulk.

Last night I grilled some halved peaches, topped with cinnamon sugar, for a few minutes. Topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream FTW !

Here is a guide to making different kinds of cobblers.

Cobblers

2 to 4 servings

A cobbler can be made with a variety of fruits mixed with dough and baked. I use black berry (actually dew berries), peach and apple because they are what I like. The amount of fruit and dough can be varied depending on if you like more fruit or more dough.

Dough

• Melt about ¼ cup of butter.
• Mix about 1 cup Pioneer Buttermilk biscuit mix with milk, until thick and creamy smooth.
• Add about 3 ot 5 tablespoons sugar and mix.

Fruit filling

Use about 1 to 1.5 cups, of one of these suggestions:

1. If using black berries, they should be well sweetened.
2. Fresh fruit can be used. If so, cut up the fruit into thin slices and sprinkle with 3 or more tablespoons of sugar. The sugar will bring out a little juice to flavor the cobbler.
3. 1 or 2 cans of your favorite fruit “pie filling” in heavy syrup.
4. Or, one of my favorites, is fresh blueberries.


Cobbler Preparation

Select size of baking pan so that after fruit and dough are mixed it will be about 1½” thick. About 9x9 inches cake pan.

• Add about half of the Fruit filling to pan and spread evenly.
• Spoon in about half of the dough spreading it over the surface.
• Mix the dough and filling a little but keep the dough evenly spread out.
• Add remaining filling.
• Spoon in some of the remaining dough and mix a little.
• Spoon in the remaining dough on top and spread evenly.


Cooking

Preheat oven to 375 deg. F.........cook about 25 minutes...........until golden brown.

This can also be done using a Dutch Oven and cooking with coals from a campfire. Be careful not to use too many coals (too hot). It is better to take a little longer than to burn the cobbler.


Serving

Serve hot with lots of Vanilla ice cream.
