Piney Woods Peaches & Mama's Peach Cobbler

This weekend I picked up a large box of fresh picked peaches at my local farmers market. The peaches were picked the day prior at Piney Woods Farm in Burgaw, NC.  I had the pleasure of visiting their farm not long ago when I purchased a 1/4 steer beef package from them.

I've been so happy with my beef purchase that I have told just about anyone who will listen about Piney Woods Farm and I've been anxiously waiting since for the peaches to come in season. I had expected to have to make the trip to Burgaw to pick up some peaches, so I was thrilled to hear that they would be coming to my local farmers market.  

The kids and I gobbled up several as soon as we got them home. Then we decided to whip up some peach cobbler.  Here's the recipe:

Mama's Peach Cobbler

INGREDIENTS:

8 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted & sliced into chunks

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

My little helpers' little helper... 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
