Cast Iron Peach Cobbler made with Homemade Canned Peaches
Last summer while we were touring the Farmers Market in Camrose, we noticed that peaches were in season (from the BC fruit stand). Greyson loves peaches and asked if we could get some. I had a sudden inspiration to can peaches just like my Mom used to do when I was a kid. I imagined all the delicious peaches we could eat in the winter, when good fruit is hard to come by.
Now that it's January, I am so thankful that my summer self followed this whim and canned up a couple of cases of peaches! Opening a jar of peaches feels like opening a jar of summer sunshine!
Eating the canned peaches on their own is delightful, but using them to create a cast iron peach cobbler is AMAZING!
