    Peachy's Peach Cobbler and More Favorite Amish Peach Recipes

    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, the taste of a peach is near-perfect.  During the winter, there’s nothing better than biting into a fresh peach to remind one of summer.

    Easy Amish peach pie starts with using ripe, wonderful, juicy peaches!

    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.

    Peach Recipe FAQ

    What flavors or fruits pair well with peaches?

    Some of my favorite flavors that pair well with peaches are cinnamon, brown sugar, lemon juice, ginger, vanilla extract and crunchy nuts like almonds. I also find blueberries to be a perfect complement to peaches. Even some fresh mozzarella in an arugula salad with ripe peaches is a savory treat. Sometimes a tall glass of ice water with sliced peaches in it is the perfect drink to keep in the fridge. Oh and please do not forget the customary scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    Why do peaches taste sweeter in a drought?

    In no way are we suggesting a drought is good, but it does produce sweeter peaches. The reduced size of the fruit, combined with nearly equivalent sugar production, results in higher sugar concentrations, so it tastes sweeter.

    Can I make this recipes with canned peaches?

    Absolutely. Canned peaches are always great in a pinch when making peach desserts. They usually come in a simple syrup mixture so inevitably your dish may be sweeter. Also the texture is bound to be a little different. I find canned peaches are excellent for peach salads and peach salsa. The syrup adds to the dressing and complements the tomatoes in salsa.

    On to one of my favorites and some other peach dishes that are bound to please your guests... 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 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.

        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!
