Yesterday I picked most of the peaches off Tree #3. I’ve been lucky that our peaches have ripened at different times and not all at once. The peaches from the first tree were ready in May, the second tree was ready in June and now the peaches from the third tree are ripe and the fourth tree will be ripe probably in a couple of weeks.
Peaches
Both of us were very surprised there were so many peaches on this little tree. So far, they’re the best of our peaches but the first ones kinda got ripe when we weren’t watching and they were too ripe when we picked them. Then we were afraid the second ones were going to get too ripe and we picked them a few days before they were ready to be picked but I think we picked these at just the right time.
Peach Cobbler
The first thing on the agenda when there are fresh peaches is . . a peach cobbler.
Still doing without Blue Bell but the Tillamook Old Fashioned Vanilla was a great substitute.
Peach Cobbler with Ice Cream
I made half a recipe but this is the whole recipe:

There’s nothing quite like a fresh peach cobbler! Now I want to go make one… 🙂

How much baking powder? Have some peaches I need to take care of today – alas I don’t have any trees but these are from Fredericksburg so they are good.
Sherrill says
YUMMMMM..not much better than peaches and peach cobbler!! That’s a nice haul!
Sandy G says
This is my favorite go to fruit cobbler – fresh or canned (no cooking).
Lynne in Hawaii says
That has got to be the prettiest basket of peaches! Awesome…and I dare not show my husband the cobbler. He is in to anything peach.
Susan says
Your basket of peaches looks like something from a magazine! They are so perfect and beautiful!
Donna says
Thanks for sharing your recipe. Do you ever make the filling, bag it, then freeze? That’s worked pretty good for me. I guess you could also make the topping, bag it separate from the filling & freeze. I’ve got more freezer space than shelf space for jars, so I’m looking for freezing recipes to preserve summer produce.

Such beautiful peaches! There’s nothing like tree-ripened peaches fresh off the tree. Sadly, peach trees just don’t survive very long here in Nebraska….even the most hardy ones, so I’m really envious of that basket of peaches. 🙂

Beautiful peaches! What kind of watering system do you have for your trees, do you have to water them year round?
Dar in MO says
That is the most perfect basket of peaches I’ve ever seen. I copied your recipe too. I don’t think I’ve ever cooked my peaches before making a cobbler or pie. Anxious to see what the difference is. Thanks

OMG, Judy. I never make peach cobbler, although it’s a comfort food from my long past childhood. Recently, I’ve been getting email recipes for cobblers, and I’ve been craving it. Your recipe has motivated me to make one. I’ll make a half recipe. Thanks for pushing me over the edge.
