DL's Peach Cobbler

Decided to cook some peach cobbler in my dutch oven this afternoon. It turned out wonderful!!! Paired it with some Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream.

Looks like I can add something else to my "old school" list.

That's awesome! Now that I actually own some acreage and am not at the mercy of apartment management and those pesky fire marshals with all their codes - blah, blah, blah...:biggrin:...I may just have to try this! Once we thaw out of our good, old fashioned, Wisconsin deep-freeze, that is.

Can you post a short recipe/tutorial on what you did? Assuming it's not just a bunch of peaches (fresh? canned?) in a molten hot piece of iron. Much appreciated!
 
Dustin you have some fine looking cowboy campfire tools there, did you make them yourself?

Looks great!
 
Yeah, there is stuff like that in my sisters fireplace but, hers has a swing arm I guess you would call it to hang the pot on and a hook to hang the lid on. When my wife and I were looking for homes here, we actually seen quite a few older homes with those in the fireplace. Especially around Monroe.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I was just saying, it looks like fireplace equipment to me. :blush:

Do folks in Charlotte use pot hangers and lid lifters in your fireplaces?
 
Here it is.

Ingredients:
3 cans of sliced peaches in heavy syrup (regular sized cans)
1 box of yellow cake mix
1 stick of butter
1 sprinkle of nutmeg
1 large sprinkle of cinnimon.

I built a fire using oak limbs from around my propery. After the fire burned down about 2 hours later, I had the coals that I needed.

Pour the peaches into a 12" dutch oven. Using a small shovel/scoop (I used the one from our fireplace set) make a small pile of hot coals. About 25 coals should do it. Set the dutch oven on top of the coals. Pour in the box of yellow cake mix on top of the peaches. Slice up a stick of butter and drop on top of the cake mix. Lightly sprinkle in some nutmeg then heavily sprinkle in cinnimon. DO NOT STIR! EVER!

Put lid on oven then with the scoop, put about 50 coals on the lid. I let this cobbler cook for 20 minutes before I checked it. After checking, I let it go for 10 more minutes and pulled it off the coals. Promptly serve with vanilla ice-cream. You'll surely go back for seconds!

The peach syrup pulls the cake mix down and the heat cooks it! We had some left over so we called the neighbors and met them at the fence and gave them the rest. They called Monday saying how good it was.

I'm going to cook another batch this weekend.

OMG that sounds soo fregging good!

Oh, yeah, the Egghead Brownies.

Get a box of brownies, mix per directions
Tickle your kid till they accidentally slam their head into the refrigerator
Give them an egg to put on their head to take the sting out
Let them lick the beaters

My wife calls those, egghead brownies!

Your peach cobbler looks yummy. I cant wait for summer :)

My wife makes an amazing berry cobbler (fresh from our yard) whenever we go camping with her dutch oven (she has a cast iron like pictured for camping and uses le cruesett at home).
 
I can vouch for how wonderful this is! I visited DL and he made this and we devoured it with Ice Cream and some good cigars!
 
Thanks Connor! I haven't made it since you have been here. I intended to make it on New Year's eve but the wind was blowing too hard for my campfire.
