Today I took on a Southern classic with Martha’s Peach and Berry Cobbler from page 212.
Here in Florida we’re only one state down from Georgia, so there are plenty of ripe and delicious peaches available at this time of year. Martha’s recipe is open to any berry you’d like, so I chose blueberries, which are also at their sweetest and best right now. The filling is incredibly simple to make! You just cut up the peaches, toss them with the blueberries, some sugar, a little lemon juice, fresh ginger and cornstarch. Then you make the biscuit for the topping by cutting cold butter into flour and adding some fresh cream with vanilla. Put it in the oven for just about 1 hour and you’ve got the perfect summer dessert!
The biscuit is so light and fluffy and blends just right with the sweet and tangy peach and blueberry filling. This goes great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. I decided to make some whipped cream that I sprinkled with a dash of nutmeg — mmmmmm, so good!
This would be great to bring to a late-summer party. Be sure to bring the recipe because everybody will want it! Martha’s Peach and Berry Cobbler recipe is available on MarthaStewart.com so if your mouth is watering for this yummy dessert, get your hands on some ripe, juicy peaches and start cooking!
