Peach Blueberry Cobbler...

 I found myself with fresh SC peaches and NC blueberries two weeks ago and what is a girl to do?!

Make cobbler of course!

The cookbook below is the one that I pulled the recipe from (these are awesome cookbooks) it is a wonderful set to own if you ever get the chance.

DH was quick to peel and cut up the peaches.  

I whipped the rest of the items together, popped them into the baking dish and 30 minutes later.

Cobbler!

This is a wonderful turn to book for all sorts of ideas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mmmm....peaches, blueberries and butter all waiting to be topped off.

Topped off and ready for the oven.

 This was a tasty treat but I have to admit I would change a few things about the recipe.

I would not use the shortening- normally I would not but wanted to stay true to the recipe.

We did not like the texture of the crust so in my words BUTTER!

I would also increase the fruit to about 4 1/2 cup to almost 5 just did not seem to be enough fruit.

By adding in more fruit you would have to adjust the lemon juice, butter, and spices a tiny bit.

This one is a keeper just with those slight adjustments. :)
