Pleasing Peach Cobbler

Pleasing Peach Cobbler, canned peaches never tasted so good! You will probably be be making this again and again...

Fresh peaches are delicious, but not necessary for this recipe.

If I had a peach tree in my back yard I would make this delicious cobbler with fresh peaches, but alas I don't have one. In previous years I would have driven down to the peach farmers in the Yakima Valley in Washington state and purchase lugs of peaches, then go home and start canning. But here in the last few years since moving away from Washington, canning peaches has not been on my list of things getting done for the year. And I have to tell you, I sorely miss home canned peaches, because there is nothing as delicious as a home canned peach!

The truth is, like many others we use canned fruit from the store. 

Sometimes (well let's just be totally honest here....) or probably more than just sometimes, we use canned fruit organic (specifically commercially canned fruit), purchased from the grocery store or a specialty online marketplace. And at the end of the day, it turns out just fine. Do you want to know why? (I shall at this point just proceed like you nodded yes, in response to my question). Because not every recipe or meal can be made with fresh, from the marketplace ingredients. Sometimes and really often times, we cook from our pantries and that means, what we have on hand...

The price of food will continue to rise in price, that given will not change.

The ingredient costs of cooking with "fresh only" ingredients, simply will not fit most food budgets. And while it would be wonderful to have only the freshest of everything available when cooking the food we serve to family and friends, it is often not possible. Serving those we love and care about is important business! And one I take quite seriously, just as you do. But in the long run, I have found that good quality organic fruit in cans is often of better quality than what I can find in the marketplace. And those cans are already stocked in my pantry. 

Home canning is coming back, and I for one couldn't be happier!

Home canning and preserving, is once again catching a new wave of interest. And on a personal note, I cannot tell you how happy that makes me! I have been canning and preserving food for my family for over 50 years. Some years it was hundreds of quarts of food put up for winter and in other years just a few jars of jam. But it was always put up with care in following proper canning processes and with lots of love. 

And at the end of the day, all of the food you prepare with care and served with a side dish of love, is OK. Actually more than OK, it is home cooking and may we all eat so well. And with all that, I would like to offer this recipe for Pleasing Peach Cobbler. How about you, do you want to make a wonderful peach cobbler calling for canned peaches?
