Blueberry and Nectarine Cobbler!
(the recipe is for Southern Peach Cobbler…. but I used what I had. It was amazing!)
INGREDIENTS
8 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced into thin wedges
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (skipped, as my nutmeg went MIA before I started cooking.)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup all-purpose flour
Topping
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup boiling water
mix together and keep off to side:
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine fruit, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, and pour into a 2 quart baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Blend in butter with your fingertips, or a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.
Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of topping over them.
Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Bake until topping is golden, about 30 minutes.
And…. Vanilla Ice Cream to go with it!
(warning : this recipe makes a GALLON of ice cream, so adjust accordingly.)
INGREDIENTS
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
1/2 pint heavy cream
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
4 cups milk
DIRECTIONS
In large bowl, beat together eggs, evaporated milk, cream, condensed milk, sugar and vanilla, with electric mixer.
Beat in pudding mix until smooth.
Pour into freezer canister of ice cream maker and add enough milk to bring mixture to fill line. (I just measured and added with everything else.)
Freeze according to manufacturer’s directions.
WARNING: it takes FOREVER to freeze. Make the day before!
