I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Country Fruit Cobbler

6 cups fruit (peaches, pears, blackberries, or whatever)
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 stick margarine or butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup milk
Pinch of salt

Add 2/3 cup sugar to fruit and set aside to dissolve.  Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put margarine or butter in 9 x 13 inch cake pan or deep dish.  Put into oven to melt.  Combine remaining ingredients for batter (except fruit).  Pour over the margarine.  Do not stir.  Then pour fruit over the batter.  Bake approximately 1 hour.  Batter will rise to top, becoming brown and crisp when done. 

This is a very good and easy traditional Southern cobbler recipe from my cousin Deena Dietrich Hames.
