So, since this week seems to be everything Peach, I thought I'd share a recipe with you. This is for a Peach and Blackberry Cobbler, it was oh so yummy!! This comes from the first cook book I ever bought, I was 16 at the time. Its called Great American Home Baking, it is a really good book for baking breads and pastry, and other desserts, main dishes, not so much!
Peach-Blackberry Cobbler
30 Minutes Preparation, 15-20 minutes baking
Makes 6 servings.
3 Tbls granulated sugar
3 Tbls cornstarch
3 Large, fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and chopped, (about 3 cups) (I added 4)
1/3 cup water
2 cups fresh blackberries
Topping
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup milk
Preheat over to 400 degrees. In a large sauce pan, mix together sugar and cornstarch. Stir in peaches and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, 10 minutes. Stir in blackberries. Spoon filling evenly into a 10 inch baking dish.
To prepare topping, in a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut chilled butter into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add milk all at once to well, tossing with a fork until dry ingredients are just moistened and a dough forms. On a floured surface, knead dough for 1 minute. Roll dough to a 1/2 inch thickness. Using a 2 3/4 inch cookie cutter, cut out 6 biscuits. Arrange biscuits on top of filling. Bake Cobbler until biscuits are golden and filling bubbles, 15-20 minutes. Transfer baking dish to a wire rack to cool slightly.
NOTE: If peaches and berries are not in season, use frozen fruit. Thaw and drain before using.
This was really good, a bit tart though because of the berries. If it was served with vanilla ice cream it would be perfect. We had it with a vanilla sauce a friend made for her chocolate ganache, it was awesome! Hope you will try it sometime!
Hope you all have a great weekend! Now that I am done with peaches, it is time to clean my kitchen really, really good! Also, time to give the floors a good mopping!
