To begin, I, of course was not happy with the four servings, but dear, sweet son, I think you can use the square pan that your loving mother gave you to make this recipe (4 servings). I wanted to make it in a 13 x 9 dish and had to google the dish to figure out how many quarts, way too much math for me, but luckily, other sites such as this Baking site had the answers for me. And then once I figured out that I wanted to make a larger cobbler, than the 8 smallish peaches from the CSA were going to need some helps, off to the farmer's market, my husband went to get 4 more larger peaches. I then doubled the rest of the ingredients. (All thoughts of calorie counting and lowering my cholesterol went out the window- Amount Per Serving Calories: 512 | Total Fat: 17.6g | Cholesterol: 46mg)
I had fresh lemon juice in the bowl already to mix the peaches with to slow the browning. Once they are cut, there's a ton of sugar, both brown and white that you mix the peaches with along with a little cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Then you just spread the fruit mixture in the baking dish and place it in the preheated oven to cook for 10 minutes.
The darker color peaches are the riper peaches. |
After baking, it looked and smelled delicious. To serve, I made some homemade whip cream with heavy cream, but I guess you can use that can or plastic canister whipped product, your taste. It was a hit with my in-laws and my family. We enjoyed the left overs for breakfast.
Which brings me to the definition of what becomes a cooking adventure. For me, a cooking adventure entails me cooking something I haven't cooked before, including a new technique or ingredient. In this case, the simple peach, oh so fuzzy, fresh- peaches! The first adventure included a very sad pie crust, stay tuned for more adventures.
And what makes this recipe simple for second son in Georgia? A. Peaches B. No mixer needed
