Cathy's Kitchen Table: Quick Organic Peach Cobbler

Thanks Cary Bass!

One of my favorite dessert recipes comes from a small cook book that I received as a wedding gift 40 years ago. The recipes in this book were gathered from the local ladies in my area. Though this book now has well-read, very worn pages, its recipes are well-loved by everyone in my family. The recipe that I would like to share from this unique book is a wonderful peach cobbler.

A cobbler is an old-fashioned, homespun dessert. Cobblers orginate from the early American Colonies. They consist of basic ingredients that you probably already have on your shelves. A cobbler is a great way to take full advantage of fruits that are in season.

Here at Terressentials we picked blackberries from the beautiful organic flower and vegetable gardens. I made a wonderful blackberry cobbler and it was enjoyed very much by everyone. Peaches are now in season and they also make a great summertime dessert, whether it be for dinner or for breakfast.

This recipe is easy, quick and delicious, yet your family members will think you spent hours preparing this delicious dessert for them. So, before serving, pat your cheeks with flour, rough up your hair a bit and say with a sigh, “It was no trouble at all, enjoy!”
