” PEACH COBBLER DAY”
“Peach Cobbler” is one dessert that you can every day, just because it is so good – and made fresh in your home – with all of the best of todays’ fresh ingredients’.”
National Peach Cobbler Day is observed annually on April 13. It recognizes a delicious dessert that originated during the 19th century.
Unable to make traditional suet puddings due to lack of suitable ingredients and cooking equipment, the settlers instead covered a stewed filling with a layer of uncooked plain biscuits or dumplings, fitted together. When the dish is fully cooked, the surface has the appearance of a cobbled street. The name may also derive from the fact that the ingredients are “cobbled” together. Some cobbler recipes resemble a thick-crusted, deep-dish pie with both top and bottom crust.
In 2007, the world’s largest peach cobbler was made at the Georgia Peach Festival. It consisted of:
- 90 lbs of butter
- 150 lbs of sugar
- 150 lbs of flour
- 32 gallons of milk
- 75 gallons of peaches
