Finally!

Summer is - unofficially - OVER!

Some people love summer.

I'm NOT one of them.

What I do like about summer, however, are fresh peaches - not to eat (it's the texture), but to make Peach Cobbler.

So on Saturday, I walked up to the farmer's, and bought sweet corn (2 for $1 or 50 cents each!)...

tomatoes...

and, of course, peaches (they're there - in the upper right corner).

Then I came home and made this...

Peach Cobbler

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

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 cup all-purpose flour

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:

3 tablespoons white sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F

In a large bowl, combine peaches, 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

SO good!

But still...

I can't wait for fall
