Peach Cobbler

 

Fruity, flavourful, and mighty tasty, Peach Cobbler is the best bake that can be made with fresh ripe peaches.

With some rainy days that we had in the last weeks, summer is far from over, with some of the best weather still to come. Heaps and heaps of stone fruit from the orchard make it a delicious summer. Colourful, tasty, sweet, juicy, summer fruits get along great with sunny weather.

 Our Peaches are blushing. An early variety of peaches are ready to be harvested. A ripe peach is a treat in itself. Soft, juicy, and flavourful, Peaches make a great addition to the bakes.

We baked Peach Cobbler some time ago with the ripest peaches we could gather from the orchard. Peach cobbler has delicious fruity tones and warm notes of cinnamon. It is a great dessert. Serve it with ice cream or whipped cream. If you do not have these options, serve with warm custard. It is a burst of great taste and flavours.
