End of Summer White Peach and Pear Cobbler

I don’t know about you, but days like today, hot end of summer Virginia days, make me think of family get togethers, reunions at the lake and Sunday afternoons at my Grandma’s house. Desserts were a highlight of the meals provided on those days, and cobblers were always a favorite dish. I can still see my Grandma cutting up the fruit and placing it in her favorite baking pan. And I haven’t forgotten the aroma of  one of those bubbling hot pies cooking in the oven.

I put together a White Peach and Pear Cobbler today that I hope will come close to being as good as one of hers. If you have other summer fruit lying about that you would rather use, feel free to substitute.

Here’s what you’ll need:

3 white peaches

3 green pears

1/2 stick of butter

2 1/2 cups of milk

1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour

1 cup of regular sugar

1/2 cup of brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Slice fruit and chop into bite-size chunks. Spread in 9 x 13 baking dish. Slice half stick of butter in pieces and place throughout the fruit.

In a heavy saucepan, combine milk, flour and regular sugar. Heat on low to medium low and stir until thickened. Thin with more milk if necessary. Pour sauce over fruit in baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Place in oven and bake for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly and crispy brown on top.

Enjoy!
