Peaches

A few weekends ago, the family had a cook out for my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary.  It was really cool to celebrate an amazing, long lasting relationship.  Everyone was given some part of the meal to bring, and I was given dessert.  I like to cook with in season food as much as I can, so I went out and bought some local peaches and blue berries and make a cobbler.  The cobbler was a big hit and everyone loved it.  I found this recipe online.

Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup cold water
3 cups fresh peaches- peeled, pitted and sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons coarse granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Start Cooking:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2.  In a medium bowl, stir together flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, and baking powder.  Mix in milk and 1/4 cup butter until smooth.
3.  In a medium saucepan, stir together the brown sugar, cornstarch, and water.  Mix in the peaches and blueberries.  Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly.  Mix in 1 tablespoon butter and lemon juice.  Continue cooking until the butter melts.  Pour into a ungreased 9"x13" baking pan.  Evenly spoon batter in mounds over the hot fruit.  In a small bowl, mix the coarse sugar and nutmeg,  and sprinkle over the batter.


4.  Bake cobbler for about 35 minutes, or until bubbly and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean.  


Tips and Hints:
1.  We served the cobbler warm with vanilla ice cream.  It was great!  
2.  This one is really easy, I didn't have any trouble with it at all :)

Enjoy!
