Harvest Peaches
Farm Recipe:
Peach Cobbler
​
Ingredients:
-
6-8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of peaches)
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1/4 cup boiling water
-
Ground cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
-
In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches with 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice. Stir to coat evenly and let sit while preparing the batter.
-
In another bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter and stir until combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
-
Spread the batter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.
-
Pour boiling water over the batter. Do not stir.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
-
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon if desired.
When is it "pick-perfect"?
Peaches are ready to harvest when they have developed full color and a slight softness at their tip. They should come off easily from the tree with a gentle twist.​
​
How to Harvest:
-
Gently twist the peach upwards and give it a slight tug.
-
If the peach comes off easily from the tree, it's ready to be harvested.
-
Handle peaches carefully to avoid bruising.
Storage:
-
Pick peaches with their stems attached to prevent damage and extend shelf life.
-
Store peaches at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate to prolong freshness.
