This easy peach cobbler recipe is divine. If you don't have fresh peaches, canned peaches are okay. Serve this with my homemade vanilla ice cream.
FRESH PEACH COBBLER RECIPE
16 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced thinly
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 TBS plus 1 tsp cornstarch
2 cups flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
12 TBS butter, chilled and roughly chopped
1/4 cup boiling water
TOPPING:
6 TBS white sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
PREHEAT oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13 pan with vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, and pour into the 9x13 baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips, or a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.
Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of topping over them. Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon topping. Bake until topping is golden brown, about 30-40 minutes.
Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream. Also, consider using other fresh fruits if peaches are not yet in season. I've made this with mangoes, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries, and each time the results have been fantastic.

I talk about thin, medium and thick syrup when canning most of the fruit, and the recipes for these syrups follow.
Use thin syrup for sweet fruit, medium syrup is used for moderately sweet fruit and thick syrup is used for sour fruit. Allow 1 cup of syrup for every quart of large fruit.

MOST vegetables have a low-acid content. They require a higher processing temperature than fruits.
Some vegetables do NOT can well, like: broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, rutabagas and turnips. They tend to discolor and may develop a strong flavor. You can pickle some of them and they turn out great.
Peas, lima beans and corn need 1" head-space at the top of the jar for expansion during cooking; other vegetables require only 1/2 inch.
RECIPE FOR APPLE BLACKBERRY JAM
4 lbs blackberries
1-1/2 lbs tart green apples, cored and cut up
6 lbs sugar
2 cups water
Place the berries in a pan over low heat, and add 1/2 of the water. Stew until tender. In another saucepan, add the remaining water to the apples and cook until the fruit is soft. If desired, strain the blackberries to remove the seeds, or just add them whole to the apple pulp.
Add the sugar to the combined pulp, and stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil rapidly until the setting point of 220 degrees is reached on a candy thermometer. Cool. This makes approximately 10 pints of jam.
