Thought we needed something to lift our spirits, and there is nothing like a homemade dessert to do the trick. This comes from my archived recipe pages - here's the link:

One of my favorite cookbooks is The Spice Cookbook. I purchased this book back in the early 70’s and it has been my inspiration when I am in the kitchen and want something special. This week I am sharing one of these recipes that I have baked frequently. In fact, I currently have it in the oven. The name of the recipe is “Old-Time Fresh Peach Crumb Pudding”.
Since peaches are not really my favorite
of fruits I often alter the recipe using various fruits, i.e. apples,
berries (these are nice because you can buy them frozen any time of the
year), etc. Depending on the fruit used, I change the baking
temperature, but usually leave the baking time the same.
Shopping List:
- 16 medium-size (4 pounds) fresh peaches.
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Flour
- Butter
Old-Time Fresh Peach Crumb Pudding
16 medium-size (4 pounds) fresh peaches or apples
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½ cups flour
½ cup (1 stick) butter
Peal peaches and cut into quarters (when I use apples, I cut them up into slices). Combine ½ cup of the sugar, cinnamon, and 3
tablespoons of the flour then mix with the fruit. Using either a
2-quart casserole dish or a 10 x 6 x 2 inch-baking dish, butter it, and
then turn in the fruit mixture.
Combine the remaining sugar and
flour. Using a pastry blender cut in the butter until you have a
crumbly consistency. Sprinkle over the fruit, covering uniformly. Bake
at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until the fruit is tender and the crumbs
are browned. Serves 6 to 8.
