The ever-so-popular peach is now coming into season! Peaches originated in China and were mentioned in the tenth century B.C. as being the favored fruit of emperors. The peach was brought to America by Spanish explorers in the sixteenth century. Today the peach is the second largest commercial fruit crop grown in the United States (second to apples). Enjoy one of the season’s sweetest treats in our easy-to-make peach cobbler.Ingredients:
4 ½ cups sliced and peeled peaches
2 ½ cups sugar, divided
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
9 tbsp. butter
1 ½ cup self-rising flour
1 ¾ cup milk
½ cup water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine half of the sugar with peaches and water in a pan on medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Simmer for about 10 minutes and remove from heat. Place butter in a baking dish and place in oven to melt. Mix remaining sugar, flour and milk slowly. Pour mixture over melted butter and do not stir. Spoon peaches on top and add the syrup. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on top. Bake for about 40 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
