Peach Cobbler

On Sunday, I made some peach cobbler.  This time, it turned out more like peach cake because I used a smaller dish, but it was still good, and I got to use some of the peaches I canned.  That makes me happy :)

Peach Cobbler
1 cup self rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter
3/4 cup milk
1-2 cans peaches
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons sugar

Melt butter in casserole dish at 375 degrees.  Mix together flour and sugar.  Add milk and a little bit of the juice from the peaches and mix thoroughly.  Pour can of peaches with juices on melted butter in dish.  Drop batter on top of peaches then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.  Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until turning golden brown on top.

This is a bad picture, but this is it.  My husband and kids ate it right up.

Gonna Eat Me a Lot of Peaches

I've been working on peaches today!

My mom, sister and all our kids went to a "peach farm" yesterday.  On the way there, my sister played that song "Peaches" and ever since then "Moving to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches..." Keeps playing over and over in my head.  Yesterday it was fun to sing on the way to the peach place, but today I wish my brain would pick another song! :)

I was disappointed in where we went.  I was kind of expecting a farm, but it was just a glamorized, over priced farm stand on the side of the interstate.  They had more cafe and gift shop than they did produce for sale :(  And it was expensive! But we still got peach ice cream and I bought a couple big baskets of peaches.

First I did peach jam:

Then I did canned peaches in light syrup.  My ball book said to use 5-1/2 cups of water and 1-1/4 cups of sugar for light syrup.  I was really nervous because it didn't tell me how many peaches to use, but it worked out!

And I still had several left so I looked up online and found you could freeze them with the skins and I was so happy because I was tired of peeling peaches by now.  Even though I used the easy peel method (30 seconds in boiling water, then 30 seconds in ice water, peel right off!)

I'm seeing lots of peach cobblers and smoothies and hot biscuits with peach jam in our future :)
