My mom made blackberry cobbler using that exact recipe, so like you said, some of us didn’t need to see you make it. It doesn’t matter. I’d watch you boil water as long as I can listen to your stories. Thanks for taking the time to share with us! ❤️

Such a sweet story about your pregnancy with the twins. Truly a blessing for you to have them.

Here's a canned peaches story from my childhood. Whenever Mom would make a peach cobbler or pie for supper, Mom would save the peach juice and the next day my brother and I would break up graham crackers and eat them with the leftover peach juice. At 62, I haven't had that peach juice, graham cracker delight in decades but it makes me smile just to remember.

Man you bring back so many great memories of me growing up. My favorite cobbler was the one I helped my grandma make. She even made a mulberry cobbler. Ok I give up my mistake in making strawberry jam my first time all alone. I didn't cook it long enough and it never set up. I was heart broken. An being a young boy it was even worse because my dad would tease me about messing up. But the very next Sunday grandma saved the day. She made homemade you crank it ice cream. She had my strawberry syrup to put on top. An my granddad told me to keep messing up cause it was great syrup. Miss the old days.

i'm getting fat just looking at this wonderful recipe.

REAL food, this is what brings families and friends around the table in America.

I love that you call your daughters your Georgia peaches, so sweet!

We made this for Father’s Day, all the way down to the Mayfield’s ice cream. When we’d have dinner at Granny’s, she’d leave her oven light on. All the grandchildren would stand in front of the oven watching for the crust to brown. Precious memories!

Thank you so much for this video. My grannie made peach and blackberry cobbler too. I don't remember that I've ever made it myself, but now I will. I miss my grannie more than anyone! Makes me cry, wish she was still here. She was a hard worker and had a hard life, I am sure like most grandmothers born in the early 1900s and lived through the depression. She'd lie to my grandfather and tell him she would eat her dinner in the kitchen while she was cleaning up, but she rarely ate because there wasn't enough food and he had to work and she wanted him to have it. Her waist was so small she could touch her fingers when she put her hands around her waist. She was the most Godly person I've ever known.

Mom always made it with two slight twists. She would add a cap of vanilla extract to the batter- if there were no vanilla beans to slice so as to make vanilla sugar, and always butter-pecan ice cream. For her, butter pecan was the height of dessert extravagance. Thank you so much for bringing back wonderful memories!

Peach cobbler is my absolute favorite,my grandmother always added I little cinnamon and nutmeg to her canned peaches for cobbler, mother didn’t but on the 4th of July we got all the peach cobbler and home made vanilla ice cream you could eat, was better than Christmas. I miss those days and family but the tradition goes on except we use Blue Bell vanilla ice cream, mighty fine.

I think every moment with Corrie is a shining moment! 🌟🤩

I've made peach cobbler this way many times. But my favorite way is to make dumpling dough, cook the peaches and then layer it all up with butter finally sprinkling sugar on top. That brings back so many memories that it's worth the time and effort. Another dessert we had in the winter was blackberry dumplings. We were fortunate enough to have plenty of blackberry bushes and that meant plenty of quarts of canned blackberries.

I love peach and apple, I do oatmeal crumble on it on the top and Breyer's natural vanilla bean ice cream.

What you said about cobblers being such a great memory I share 1000%. Peach and blackberry, with Mayfield's vanilla ice cream in a white bowl. Love this, Tipper.

How can anyone not be a cobbler fan? You've never lived until you try to eat an entire restaurant sized pan of peach cobbler at one sitting. I have, and even with help from my brother we couldn't get it all down, but we made a respectable effort of it. Peach cobbler has always been one of my favorite desserts.

I always make a cobbler for my Dad when I go back home! Today I’m in the kitchen making him a dried apple cake!

In our county in N. Georgia, the Cooperative Extension Agency sells peaches from a South Georgia farm as a fundraiser. I have an order in. This peach cobbler recipe is the first I’ll make of the season. The rest gets frozen for cooler weather treats…with Reddi Whip on hand. I can just imagine the crunchy, crisp crust on the cobbler at the Pressley homestead. We like that in Georgia, too.💜😉💜

We called them peach peddlers. Some of the same men also peddled watermelons and apples. Sometimes they would go get peaches for their own use and take orders from other people to help defray the cost of the trip. Sometimes they were total strangers that showed up unexpectedly. Either way they were welcome guests especially to the kids because they gave away samples. That was good salesmanship! They knew that if the kids got a bite they would beg their parents until they scratched up enough money to buy a bushel or two. **That's a lot of theys to follow but if I spoke it out loud I know you would know exactly what I mean.**

Woof! Who doesn't just LOVE Peach Cobbler??! 👍😁

We throw a bunch of blueberries in with the peaches... takes it to the next level! ♥️ Thank you for the great video!

Warm peach cobbler and vanilla ice. Oh my!

The time in my childhood when we weren’t on the road, we had a home base in a very rural area south of Albuquerque. It was agricultural and there were several local farms that set up roadside fruit and vegetables stands. I remember the excitement when my grandmother or parents, aunts and uncles would stop by the stands because it meant that the whole family was gonna get some good sweet fruit. Plums, apples, pears, apricots, peaches. Sometimes there’d be a special treat of blackberries or raspberries. I had a Great Aunt and Uncle that had a huge mulberry tree in their yard that produced prolifically. We were free to pick all of those that we could. I was raised on the road, occasionally living in big ugly cities, which I grew to detest. I’m a country boy at heart and always will be! My sons took me fishing for Father’s Day, the first time I’ve gone in about 10 years. Multiple Sclerosis messes with me pretty bad and makes me very sensitive to heat. But we went very early in the morning and left before noon. We each caught a catfish, both of my sons got one twice the size as mine. The lakes were closed for over a year due to the virus but they continued stocking the lake anyway. Some of those fish were huge for desert fishing. Country living is good living, even with the extra work. Simplicity is king!

Peach cobbler has got to be one of my favorite fruit pies.

This was my Mom's go to quick cobbler. Always delicious. Here in Texas, it is Blue Bell ice cream. Love your videos.

Always happy to stop by a kitchen when someone is baking a treat! Now don't leave that by the window to cool or it might just disappear :)

I remember my Dad & his Mother telling me how every summer they (& others) waited for the men to come up to Wisconsin from the South. They brought up peaches by the bushel, & at other times watermelon & pecans. Even during the Depression Grandma & Grandpa bought several bushels of peaches to be canned or made into jam w/a few left for a shortcake, cobbler, or out of hand eating.

Many years ago when our mother was still alive, she got us 4 girls that very cake pan. That is the pan I make this very cobbler in. Sweet memories.

My sister-in-law introduced us to a dessert her Grandmother made called peach crunch. Instead of milk the butter is cut into the flour and sugar. Added with chopped pecans scooped over the peaches in the bottom and baked for 45 minutes at 350. It has become a family favorite. Thank you for sharing, I didn't know how to make cobbler.

A cobbler beats other desserts any day!

Ma'am you've made me drool at the memory of my dear deceased mother's cobblers, peach, blackberry, and cherry. Sweet sweet goodness they were scrumptious! Sigh...

Brings back old memories at home .

I am a fresh fruit connoisseur except when it comes to peaches. I don't like them raw but I do like them macerated in sugar. I use the juice it gives off poured over crumbled up biscuits. I also like peach cobbler just like you make. I don't eat vanilla ice cream as a general rule but I make an exception when it's with peach cobbler.

as a kid, i remember goin to my grandmas and she would cook for an army...13 kids of her own and lord only knows how many grandkids...she would make dumplins in a huge pot on the stove...several kinds at a time in fact...knowin how much i loved berries, there was always some type of berry dumplins...oh how i miss those days...the smell was heavenly

My grandparents grew lots of fruit - peaches, sour cherries, raspberries, black raspberries, apples. Peach and black raspberry or blackberry cobbler are my favorites. Granny made cobbler more like deep dish pie - bottom, side and top crusts in a 9” by 13” cake pan. I’ve never known anyone else to make it that way.

Peach or apricot cobbler with what my family calls dip.... milk, sugar, and nutmeg. We mix the dip in a quart mason jar and shake it up then pour it over our cobbler in a bowl. In Az we didn’t have a lot of access to ice cream in the early 1900’s on the ranch but we had plenty of beef and milk cows, lol

My favorite is blackberry cobbler. Peach runs a close 2nd. :) Apple cobbler is also very good! My family does a thicker batter, closer to a sweet biscuit and fruit is always on the bottom and LOTS of butter all over the top. Vanilla ice cream is a must no matter what fruit is used.

Peach Cobbler has always been my favorite. When, we moved across the street from her she would always let me know that morning what she was going to make. Then, she’d tell me what time to come over when, it be ready. Then, would eat the first piece together before anybody else. Then, later, that evening she’d have me come over for another piece and, a extra piece for the next day.

Thank you so much for sharing the story of your miracle babies. Id love if you would share more if you ever feel comfortable sharing. So many people including myself struggle with fertility issues and its usually something people suffer with in private. Nice to hear it just being a part of life and of course that it turned out well for you.

One of my family's favorite peach cobbler!!!!

Your Georgia Peaches. That's a perfect side story to the peach cobbler. We had a peach truck from Georgia come around every summer in the 50s. It was a ton flat bed truck with wood cattle racks. They'd put slats across the racks to make shelves spaced so a bushel basket would fit between the slat shelves then cover the top with a tarp. They'd sell by peck or bushel. Mother would get a bushel or two if she had the money. Half was made to pickled peaches the other half canned for cobbler or eaten out of the jar over buttered biscuits. Gooood on cold winter nights. Thanks for your videos.

you are positively glowing

When I was growing up we had peach cobbler and BlackBerry cobbler ....love them hot with a big scoop of vanilla icecream too....yummy....thanks tipper .....God bless.....🙏

I know you’re off with Granny. You and she and your whole family have my heartfelt, God-blessed wishes. I finally made this and it was the best! I had given up on biscuits and cobblers….thank you for showing us how easy and delicious these recipes can be. I’m eternally grateful 💕

Peach, blackberry, and gooseberry cobblers are favorites from my childhood. Loved watching you make it and your recollections.

Cobbler and ice cream is such a perfect combo! Love the recipe. 👏👏👏

Georgia Peaches ... Beauties! You are blessed indeed.

Good, simple country cookin. I’d take a meal out of your kitchen over any 5 star restaurant every time.

My dad was from East Tennessee and I have made his recipe which is yours all my life . I am 67 now . We always had it with just a little milk on top not a lot just a tad and it was and is the best . God bless

There is a peach farm here in Davidson County. Two miles from my house. I make peach butter and can it.

Just made a wild raspberry cobbler last week. We get our peaches from the peach truck...THE BEST PEACHES!

This brought back two childhood memories: my Mamaw's blackberry cobbler, and the first time I ever saw the big peach in Gaffney, SC.

This was exactly how my grandma taught me. Great memories. Along with blue bell vanilla

Enjoy all your cooking videos. You briefly mentioned that apples would probably make a good cobbler. I can attest that they do. We used the canned apple pie filling that most grocery stores stock. Of course, it goes great with vanilla ice cream.

My grandma and I used to go pick blackberries when I was a little girl and she would show me how to make them into a cobbler using the same recipe you just used! What a great memory!

Cobbler for us growing up in the Ozarks/Eastern Oklahoma Hills involved a standard pie crust, but thicker, in a lattice on the top. The doughy top was my favorite part. Instead of ice cream, we used fresh cream.

I love anything you cook Tipper! Give Granny love gor us! We love you and your family so much

Love it! Simple.... My neighbor's blackberry vines poke through my fence. A couple of summers ago, I had enough to make one nice pie (I usually would pick a few each day and freeze them until my splendid pie making day)..... Her side has a multitude and sometimes she shares.... Cobblers remind me of my dad who was from Crab Orchard KY. His family had all the great recipes.

My momma used to make peach, cobbler.... We use to go pick the peaches for my momma. She doesn't bake or cook anymore because she's not well. My sister does the cooking now. Thank you for sharing.🍊Bless you and your family always. ❤🙏

Looks great! The one cup method is how I was taught by my mother. But I cook a lot and my daughters are on to me to write down the recipes. I don’t know them, I just eyeball it. I’m 56 yo and I guess it time to get a recipe box like my mother had.

The canned peaches that I get are usually sort of hard and not quite ripened prior to canning. i used to get an occasional can of good ripened peaches but it has been a long time since i have had ripe peaches.

I have made this recipe with a lot of different fruits. I have even used fruit pie filling I bought at the grocery store. One of my favorites is strawberry and rhubarb. I maserate the strawberries, but I cook the rhubarb just like you did with the frozen peaches. If you've never made strawberry rhubarb cobbler, you should definitely give it a go.

We grew up picking and eating BlackBerry Cobbler. We didnt ice cream very much (in the 50's)..so we would pour can cream over ours. It was so good. Born & raised in Georgia. I miss those days. Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories.

Cobblers have always been my go-to dessert. Cherry and peach being my favorites. The only differences between my cobbler and yours is that I only add half of a cup of sugar and I add in one beaten egg. I’m of the order of first, melted butter, second, the batter, and then the fruit with juices poured over the top. I bake it until it is very brown and crispy. I use canned peaches packed in fruit juice (I try to reduce sugar where I can.). I can my own cherries which make a delicious cobbler. I agree with topping it with vanilla ice cream. Delicious!

Years back, someone at my office showed up with a Sweet Potato cobbler and it was SO good. I had never heard of usin' Sweet Potatoes.

Your channel is growing! So happy for you! Peaches are still a treat by me- I grew up with canned peaches and I look for peach jam at farm stands by me, the best!!🍑 love this recipe Tipper, thanks!

sour cherry cobbler - my mother made the best cobbler ! I'll have to try this peach cobbler tutorial :)

Years ago when I still lived at home and my birthday rolled around, Mama would ask me what cake I wanted for my birthday. I asked her did it have to be a cake? She said no and that I could have anything I wanted, so I told her I would like a peach cobbler. Later she told me that she was hoping I would ask for that. I guess it was one of her favorites too.

Very good my Mother and Grandmother's all made this with peaches..loved it..

every time you cook anything, it makes me think of my granny. This is the same way I learned to make cobbler and it works regardless what fruit you use. I've used it for peaches, blueberries, apples, cherries, you name it. Perfect every time. And yes, vanilla ice cream is mandatory...

I absolutely love cobbler, especially peach.

I had an uncle growing up that tended a big peach orchard for Del Monte fruit and the whole family enjoyed his labor, so to say, and I remember all the ways we put them up and I love me some peach cobbler! My grandma canned spiced peaches and they were so delicious! Yall ever had spiced peaches? I haven't seen any in years but they were so good, thanks for sharing!

I lived in South Georgia for years and got a great job running a guest house on a quail hunting plantation. Every year I would buy or myself pick local produce to make little jars of jelly or preserves to serve our guests. I designed a label and had it made with the name of our plantation and the kind in the jar and gave each guest a jar to take on their departure. There were temporary stands set up every year along the highways where I could buy boxes of those wonderful peaches. I have lived in western Washington since 1996, and was surprised when I moved out here and lived and worked on a beautiful estate, that there were peaches grown there that were just delicious, though they aren’t commonly grown here. They do grow over in eastern Washington and are shipped over here where we look forward to them every year.

Oh... you know how to get me! 🥰😭🤗

My Grandma made peach cobbler, peach butter, peach jam, and pickled peaches. I do love peaches. My grandma did not use recipes but i had to have them. I cooked with her and wrote down all the wonderful things grandma cooked for us. I enjoy your videos very much. Bless you and yours.

Your story reminded me of our family in the summers. Mom planned her time around what was ‘coming on’. Early while we still had frosty mornings time was spent getting the garden soil ready. Then watering and hoeing. Then as each veggie or fruit came on she spent morning till night day after day in the kitchen celebrating every harvest by canning, cleaning, sealing, drying and freezing everything she grew and trade. So much work but I loved it.

Absolutlely one of my favorite desserts in my childhood. There was an old lady at the church thàt tought me how to make it. She said just remember , 1, 1, 1 and 1 for the ingredients.

The waitress ask the country did he what his apple pie a ala mode. He said I guess so. When she walk away he said put a scoop of ice cream on there too .

My mother long gone but I remember her peach cobbler recipe

Thank you. I've only had cobble once in my whole life and I'm 60 years old. I had no idea it was so easy to make. Maybe I'll try making it this weekend. Could I use frozen blueberries?

My grandma use to make this for me. 🥰 Now I have a hankerin' for it. 😂 I've been trying to think of things that she use to say. She passed when I was little so I don't remember many. She had a lot of them however. She was from the hills of Kentucky. One saying of hers that I remember the most, "You can't walk out to the barn without stepping in some s**t." Meaning life is messy and nobody travels the journey without having some trials and tribulations. 😂 She had some colorful words from time to time as well. Love this channel!

I love peaches and I love cobblers also. I’ve never made it though. I bet that is so delicious. YUM! Thank you for sharing your story 🤗 P.S. Your daughter already shines 😄

I love peach cobbler especially with vanilla ice cream

In about three weeks, here in Missouri, we'll be getting freestone peaches. I'm partial to those grown near Waverly. When we lived in Waverly we'd go thru at least one peck a week. Most of them we eat fresh or on cereal for breakfast, but cobbler and pie are hard to beat. I'm fortunate that my wife took to cooking right off. She couldn't even turn a stove on when we first married, but both of my grandmothers had been professional cooks and took her under their wings as did my mother. When our family was growing we had a sit down dinner every night. That, with good food, made for a wonderful family time. Thx, Tipper.

You and your chillens are so Precious ❤️. May God continue to Bless you all 🙏. Thank you Tipper for Blessing us with your daily visit.

I love peach cobbler and want to go live at your Granny’s house.

OMG .... YESSSSS!!!! ..... we do the cup and a cup and a cup .....yup.... I like the bread part too .... Mom taught me this when I was about 7 .... GREAT VIDEO ......

I so love your channel and look forward to your videos every day. And, by the way, your daughters are very beautiful, and you should be so proud and you are certainly blessed! And again, thank you for sharing! ❤️

I love watching your channel. I, too live in Appalachia, in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. My fondest memories are of my Great Grandma, Granny Harley. She was the best cook and your recipes bring sweet memories of her to mind. I am so glad you bring the old tried and true recipes to us. I love them all and will be trying them out very soon!!

When I was a child and spending the summer in Mississippi at my grandmother's there would be a man come by with a truck load of peaches and she would always buy a bushel if she had the money or a peck if not so much. As for your twins everybody needs one or two Georgia peaches in their life. God blessed you with two, and what beautiful peaches they are. I know this post was posted a year ago but when I watch your channel and it touches home, well I just have to comment. I love your channel . Keep inspiring and giving us something good to look forward to. Thank you dear lady...

MmmmMmmmm I can almost smell it :-) My dad had an old friend who was a bachelor , Mr Young was his name . Mr young loved my mamas peach preserves. He would drive to the farmers market in Raleigh and buy 2 bushels of peaches and bring them to mama along with sugar and what ever else it took to make them. Mama would make and can them on halves for him. I wish I had some in a hot biscuit right now :-)

I've made this cobbler with peaches, pears, cherries, and blackberries. All are good.

I love peach cobbler and this is the best recipe because it's so easy.

Where I grew up in NW GA just a few miles south of Rome we called your cobbler a Dump Cake. Our cobbler was entirely different. It is a deep dish one and baked in the large, deep, square corningware with the cornflower pattern. We did the peaches the same way as you unless we used a quart of our canned peaches. We had 6 peach trees. For our crust we'd use a slightly sweet biscuit dough rolled out and sliced into strips. We'd butter the pan then put a layer of peaches then a layer of strips with space between the strips. Then dollop butter over it and sprinkle it with a spoonful of sugar. We'd continue doing this until we ran out of peaches and dough. The top layer of dough would be made into a lattice and sprinkled with butter, and cinnamon. I sometimes add a little nutmeg to mine but not too much.Then put some vanilla in the water and pour it over the cobbler to almost cover the dough. Then sprinkle the top with a little more sugar and bake untill bubbly and brown. Needless to say this was reserved for special occasions and all day singings and such at the church because of the time it took to make. Sometimes my daddy would request it for Sunday dinner. That was always a special treat and usually during peach season. I wish the late frost followed by torrential rain and hail hadn't destroyed my peach harvest this year. I've only got 2 peaches total on all my trees. Much Love

We call my 9 year old son the “cobbler gobbler”. Peach cobbler is his favorite dessert. I make it at least once a week. I put my peaches on top with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

My grandmother made pickled peaches…gosh they sure were good!

you are my favorite cook you remind me so much of my momma the way you cook its unreal those girls are so lucky to have you

Now we have the peach truck come from Georgia. I love it.

Never made cobbler but I've eaten plenty from my mom and granny. Love all cobblers.
