Yesterday I made a peach cobbler from some overripe peaches I had. I used a very easy recipe given to me by a friend years ago. The original recipe calls for blackberries but most any fruit will do. I just cut up the peaches in small pieces — didn’t even peel them. If “cobbler” means a pie crust-type topping to you, I should explain that this is more of a cake-type dessert. Call it what you will, it is delicious! And it makes a darn good breakfast. 😉

- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder

Directions:
Cream 1 cup of sugar (the other cup will be used later) and butter.
Add flour, baking powder, salt, milk and mix well.
Spread in greased 9×13 pan.
Sprinkle blackberries on top.
Pour 1 cup sugar over it.
Pour 2 cups boiling water over all.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until done.
*Since I made this with peaches, I also added some cinnamon to the batter. I might try replacing some of the sugar with brown sugar next time.
