Peach Cobbler 2

Ingredients

Directions

Heat oven to 400. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch and cinnamon in a 2 quart saucepan. Stir in the peaches and lemon juice. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir for one minute. Pour into an ungreased 2 quart casserole. Keep hot in the oven.

Cut shortening into flour, 1 tb. sugar, the baking powder and salt until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in milk. Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls onto hot peach mixture.

Bake until topping is golden brown - about 25-30 minutes. Serve warm with cinnamon whipped cream.

For Blueberry - Omit cinnamon. Substitue 4 cups blueberries for peaches.

For Cherry - Substitue 4 cups pitted red tart cherries for peaches and increase sugar in cherry mixture to 1 1/4 cups, cornstarch to 3 tb. and substitute 1/4 tsp. almond extract for lemon juice.

For Plum - Substitute 4 cups sliced plums (about 14 lg.) for the peaches. Increase sugar in plum mixture to 3/4 cup cornstarch to 3 tbl. and cinnamon to 1/2 tsp.

Cinnamon Whipped Cream - Beat 1 cup chilled whipping cream, 3 tbl. sugar and 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon in a chilled bowl until stiff.

Reviews

I made this dessert to serve to my in-laws. When I took it out of the oven I was disappointed in how it looked and nervous that it would taste liked it looked - lacking. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone enjoyed this dessert and especially the topping. I wouldn't hesitate to serve this dessert again. I recommend it. over 6 years ago
