Fresh Peach Cobbler

By Lorraine

 
If it’s August in South Jersey, it’s peach time in the Garden State. My cousins family used to own peach and apple orchards in Mullica Hill. Though those orchards are now sprawling homes the memory of delightful bushels of sweet, fragrant peaches linger on. Peach pie is probably my favorite but cobblers, muffins, jam and ice-cream are much enjoyed too.

Peach Time in the Garden State

Peach recipes abound, but here is a simple not-too-sweet cobbler that just beckons for a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and someone special to share it with.

    Mother used to make peach cobbler. Oh, it was good! I never thought of NJ as an agricultural state. Those facts were interesting!

    Peach pie is my favorite! I bought a few peaches at the store, but don't think they be as nice as the specimens you have.

    I think I will make your peach cobbler recipe this afternoon, I thought about pie, but that felt like too much work. Thanks for sharing!

    I didn't know NJ was such a farming state.

    Wow that Peach Cobbler looks really yummy. We have to import peaches, but I just got some Victoria Plums that were grown in the south of England yesterday. We will be having them poached and served with rice pudding. Don't you just love fruit?

    I LOVE PEACHES! YUM! The cobbler looks deeelicious.
    Cool facts about NJ. My dad was born and raised in NJ. He is the last of 9 brothers and sisters, so we haven't been back there in a very long time.
    Have a blessed weekend.
    Thanks for the sweet comments on my blog! HUGS

    Peach Cobbler is my absolute favorite.

    I have even made it with canned peaches when we have a craving.

    Your blog looks beautiful as usual-
