LifeNet Gets Cookin’: Peach-Nectarine Cornmeal Cobbler (Gluten-Free!)

Summer fruits are wonderful to use in cobblers. We love the following cobbler because the tang of the nectarines is a great balance to the sweetness of the peaches. We don’t mean to sound presumptuous, but we bet you will too! And don’t worry, it’s good with ice cream!

What you need and what you do:

-3 C sliced nectarines (about 1 ½ pounds)

-3 C sliced peaches (about 1 ½ pounds)

-2 T lemon juice

-1 ½ T sugar

-1 ½ t cornstarch

-Mix together.

-Stir gently and put in a 9” square baking pan or a deep pie dish.

-Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

-Combine ¾ C flour (for gluten free, use brown rice flour or flour mix and ¼ t xantham gum), 1/3 C sugar, ¼ C cornmeal, 1 ½ t baking powder, ½ t cinnamon and ¼ t salt.

-Cut in 3 T butter (chilled), cut into small pieces until mixture resembles coarse meal.

-Add 1/3 C fat free milk, stir just until moistened.

-Drop dough onto fruit mixture to form 9 mounds.

-Sprinkle with sugar (1 T at most).

-Bake for 40 minutes or until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling.

-Cool slightly and enjoy!
