Dear faithful blog followers:
I'm sorry I have not posted enough sweet recipes. I love to eat sweet things...a lot, but do not enjoy cooking them as much as savory things. Along with my apologies I will share a recipe that is a Barneck family secret. It is the best cobbler recipe in the world. I will try to balance out the sweet and the savory a little better.
Most Affectionately,
Matt
Ok now that’s out of the way let’s get right to the peaches. A few weeks ago we went with the sibs to an orchard called Dicky Brother's Orchard. It is a Coats family favorite after we went apple picking last fall. There is just something fun about picking your own fruit. Every time we go we get a little out of control and pick way too much fruit. Holli gets especially over excited as seen below.
So after filling two boxes of peaches and two cartons of blackberries we decided to stop there. The peaches were like candy. So we made cobbler, peaches and cream, put peaches in our cereal, made peach chutney, and gave a lot away. I think we did a good job at using the peaches seeing as we only threw four away out of two boxes.
This cobbler is one of my favorite deserts. I like to double the batter because it's my favorite part. If you want extra batter I wouldn't recommend doubling the peaches or butter. Also putting the peaches on top of the batter in not a typo, that is just how it works. You can also substitute other fruit or add different fruit to the peaches. We added the blackberries we picked to one batch and it gave it some nice tart. Ice Cream is another must. Enjoy!
