Hopefully everything is just peachy wherever you are. (Peachy, by the way, is a relatively common Amish surname...I mean, it's not nearly as common as Yoder or Miller, or even Beachy, but Peachy I think must have perhaps been Beachy and maybe someone changed the spelling, because there are a number of Amish Peachys) Anyway, back to peaches are something that are great year-round. In season, there’s nothing better. When would vacation in South Carolina, often in August, there were vendors selling peaches from bushel baskets along the road-side. When the season is just right, those peaches are near-perfect. During the winter, there’s nothing better than biting into a fresh peach to remind one of summer.
Amish cooks will buy peaches in bulk from local Amish stores who get them shipped in in season and then the seasonal favorites find their way into pies, breads, jams, and other desserts, here are several to try, like Peachy's Peach Cobbler!
Peachy's Peach Cobbler - Amish Recipe
Okay, this one is for you Mom….Mom was looking for an easy peach cobbler recipe to take to our family picnic this weekend. This is about as easy as you get, it comes to us from an Amish woman who, as I noted earlier, has the last name of Peachy. While the recipe is for peach cobbler, you can use this exact same formulation with any fruit (well, berries, etc, I doubt bananas would work, but who knows?)….so here is Peachy's Peach Cobbler!

I love Aster’s letter! You are never too young to learn advocacy!
Hopefully, the local Congressman will respond to her!
I learned similar cobbler recipe from the Amish in PA. Only difference was they used buttermilk instead of regular milk. It gave it a nice tang.
Buttermilk, I like that idea!
I'm with you! I love mushrooms, husband not but he just picks around them when necessary. Love your whimsical, funny at times, back to nature, informative Amish website. Have passed it around. My sister and husband used to help and work with the Amish, wanted to have your link. Just keep doing what you are doing, and dirty fingernails, don't sweat the small stuff. Love the recipes!
Thanks for the kind words, SJ!
