     Happy Great American Solar Eclipse Day! 

     We hope you have an awesome experience on this exciting day! Remember to be safe!  Don't even take selfies with the eclipse behind you, because the reflection can still hurt your eyes.  If you didn't get the solar eclipse glasses, Alicia showed another safe way to view the eclipse here.

     Last week on Renny’s Recipes, Lindsey shared her favorite camping treat, Peach Cobbler.  She and I were on the same wave length!  I had also promised on Friday Faves to share some of my peach cobbler recipes.  This one, Essie’s Cobbler, is an old fashioned one that I remember my mother making when I was small.  It not only has peaches, but delicious berries.  Her recipe calls for canned peaches and either raspberries or blueberries.  

     ​If you remember, I showed you how I canned peaches on this post, and blackberries in this post.  I decided to use both of those in this recipe, and the result was delicious! 

     The recipe calls for making this cobbler in a loaf pan.  I needed to make two of these.  One for home and one to give away.  So, I had purchased an aluminium cake pan for the one to give away so the family wouldn’t have to worry about returning it to me.  (I like to keep these on hand for when I take food to people or functions.  They really come in handy! This link is to a really good price on a dozen of them!)  I will show you pictures of both of the ways of cooking these different sizes.  For the cake pan, I merely doubled the recipe.  That meant, I 1 ½ timed it over all! The recipe I am giving you is just for one recipe.  You can do the math yourself if you want to make a bigger batch! Click on the pictures below for tips.

The batter comes out light, creamy and delicious!

Spread it in a loaf pan...

or a 9 x 13 cake pan. Then arrange the fruit on top, scatter the remaining sugar and pour on the juice. It will look soupy and weird. Don't panic!

As you can see, when it is baking in the oven, it starts to look better and the soupy liquid disappears! (Pay no attention to the messy bottom of my oven.)

Here is the loaf pan when it is baked. I actually added about 8 min. to the baking time.

Here is the cake pan, also all baked.

See the nice brown cake part of the cobbler? (Notice the arrow! I did that all by myself!)

Look at the fluffy cake and the juices on the cake and the delicious fruit!

Serve it warm, with vanilla ice cream. YUM

Here is another angle.

I may need to make another recipe of this delicious cobbler!

     We may also need to start a cobbler category over on our sidebar because this is the 3rd recipe for cobbler that we have given you.  I just remembered this one!  We called it a Blueberry Dump Cake, but it is pretty much a cobbler.
     So, go ahead! Celebrate Solar Eclipse Day with a delicious cobbler! You don't really need an excuse anyway!  Click the button for the printable recipe! Be sure to pin and share. Thanks.
