WHOLE HAWG DAYS AND PEACHES

This weekend in Eufaula is Whole Hawg Days.  The annual celebration with carnival, rodeo, parade and lots of barbecue.  I am sorry that it is so hot.......afraid the participation may be down a bit........at least the old people will be home under the air conditioning!  The bbq sandwiches are free to the public...........but just can't do the "line" thing.  We are fortunate that we grow lots of local peaches and boy are they coming on.  Vender's along side the road are selling their wonderful sweet produce.  So today made a good old fashioned cobbler.  I am sure everyone knows how to make cobbler but just in case.......here's my old, old recipe
Peel and slice about 4 to 5 big peaches........In a pan mix 1/3 cup sugar, about 1 (maybe more) Tblsp cornstarch, and a dash of salt.......I add just a trinkle of water so as not to burn......dump in your peaches and cook and stir til thick and bubbly.  Pour into a buttered casserole.  In another bowl mix 1 cup (more in using lots of fruit) 2 Tbslp sugar, 3 Tblsp milk and 2 Tblsp melted butter. Mix this up and drop in dollop's onto the hot peaches.......sprinkle with a little sugar........and bake at 400 degrees about 25 minutes.  If you have some fresh raspberries you can throw those in too.............I love this with real cream poured on top............there goes the waistline!! LOL
