Raspberry Peach Heaven

Θnce upon a time, there was princess who lived in the enchanted town of Peaches ‘n’ Cream.  She was a simple girl, who enjoyed the small things in life, like watching birds in the park and admiring colorful flowers in the spring.  One day, she came upon a glowing flat screen, with pictures of all of her favorite things:  painting, decorating, cooking, crafts!  It had the word “Pinterest” at the top, oh my.  Hiding on the screen, was what looked like a recipe for delicious cobbler–it was!  Princess Peach thought, this looks delicious, but I want to make it my own.  She decided to use less sugar, less butter, and add some more fruit.  After she created the cobbler, she soon decided it was the most heavenly tasting thing she had ever taken a nibble of.  She continued to eat and eat, until she turned into a giant peach!  Soon after, her prince came crashing through the door (his name is not James… or Mario for that matter), “My princess, what have you done?!!!!”  Speechless, she rolled herself over to him and showed him the empty dish.  Together, they chuckled and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon…

Have I gone too far?  I think so.  Although I’m not a princess like the one in the story, the rest is pretty much true.  I ate the entire thing in one sitting.  Fork in one hand, whipped cream in the other.  Nobody was stopping me!  And if you’re still wondering, no, I did not turn into a peach.

Here’s the recipe:

Raspberry Peach Cobbler

Can of sliced peaches in 100% pear juice

1/2 container of fresh raspberries

1.5 cups self-rising flour

1.5 cups milk

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 stick butter (melted)

In a 9×13 inch baking dish pour melted butter. Mix self-rising flour, milk, and sugar to make a smooth and RUNNY batter (yes, it’s supposed to be really runny).  Pour batter over melted butter.  Put fruit on top, juice and all.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Let set 15 minutes before serving.  Serves about 8 (unless you’re like me and eat the whole thing in one sitting).
