Peach
Cobbler

Did you ever
have to stay in camp and cook
your
specialty dish while everyone else
got to ride? Well,
here's the solution. You can
do this in 10 minutes.
Ingredients
6 to 10 refrigerated pie crusts
1 gallon of sliced peaches,
drained and save the syrup.
brown sugar
cinnamon
butter or margarine
And if you like, dried prunes, raisins
or dried apricots.
Grease your Dutch oven and add a
pie crust or two. Put in a
layer of sliced peaches then
sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon
and add plenty of butter.
Add another pie crust and repeat
until you are out of peaches and
pie crusts.
You can add the dried fruit to the
peaches if you like.
Add the last pie crust and save
some of the crust and fashion your
brand to put on the top of the
crust and it will brown darker
than the other crust. Takes
about 3 hours and not much fire
under the oven.
Pour the rest of the syrup you
saved over the dried fruit and
keep it by the fire and boil it to
reduce it and save until morning
and you will have some mighty fine
syrup to add to your hot cakes.
If it ain't enough, just add more
water and brown sugar and boil it
a little more and it'll do.
Don't show anybody the packages
the pie crusts came in and they'll
think you made it yourself.
I served this in 2, 18" Dutch
ovens to my high school class at
our 40th reunion and they ate
every bite of it. They even
thought I could cook.
Lee, I swear this works and it is
good. Use it if you like.
