Peach cobbler
We are just loving these juicy peaches that we picked up while in the Okanagan. I have had way more than my fair share of peaches and cream. Sadly, fresh fruit doesn't last forever and these peaches are almost done. I am amazed that any lasted long enough to start to turn! I took the last few and made one of my favourite dessert, peach cobbler. Eating peach cobbler always reminds me of eating supper out in the field during harvest time. It was one of my grandmother's go to recipes and then my mothers. While I don't have the opportunity to take many meals out to the field, is till enjoy many of those traditional recipes, including this one! If you are lucky enough to have some fresh peaches give this recipe a try!
