Eat Local, Eat Often
With summer in full swing, markets all over the state are loaded with delicious fruits and berries. Blueberry season is almost over, ending a bit soon due to the hot weather and early crop production but blackberries, peaches and early apples are everywhere! Here is a simple recipe that is great for both peaches and apples. Enjoy this family favorite from my kitchen to yours.
Peach (or Apple) Cobbler
Butter an 8 in. square pan. Cover the bottom with peeled and sliced peaces (about 6 or 7). Sprinkle 1/2 to 1 cup sugar over the peaches (depending on their sweetness) and gently toss. In a separate bowl, mix together 1 c. flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. baking powder until crumbly (hand mixing works the best). Place on top of peaches and dot the top with ample amounts of butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour until golden brown.
