Fruit Cobbler EASY and the time is right

    This recipe is straight from the Food Network and can be found here.
    However, if you don't do links it is reproduced below. With fruit being so available right now there won't be as better time to make this although we sometimes make it with frozen fruit in the winter.
    A niece made it on Edisto Island and it was great. I messed with the recipe in NY and I shouldn't have. I substituted maple syrup for one of the cups of sugar and that made it too runny and I didn't have self rising flour so used King Arthur White Whole Wheat. The cobbler part was a bit dense and heavy as a result. I did add some blue berries to the peaches at the last moment and that was a happy addition as were the few remaining fresh figs. I did NOT peel the peaches and everything was good with that.

4 cups peeled sliced peaches
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1,1/2 cups milk
1,1/2 cups self rising flour
1 stick butter... 8 Tblspoons
Cinnamon
3 quart pyrex baking dish

Preheat oven to 350
In a sauce pan place peaches, 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes. (I think, depending on the peaches, this is too long as they will break down to mush. When I noticed they were getting too soft, I turned the heat off and added the blue berries and sliced figs)
Put butter in a three quart baking dish and place in oven to melt
Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes
To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

A home cook who appreciates the pros but doesn't want to be one and an eager eater who loves to eat what others make.

Pinckney: Made this very thing again tonight for dessert at a dinner for six. Served it with whipped cream. Peaches are all done here in NY so I went to local apples and frozen blueberries. Funny color, but oh so really good.
