Almost a new year :)

Hope everyone had a decent Christmas this year.  I can't believe that yet another year is almost over.  It has seemed to fly by like crazy.  I had a good Christmas got 2 new cookbooks and Carla Emery's Encyclopedia to Country Living. In addition to those I also got the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving (over 400 recipes!!) I could not be happier. :)

My mom gave me some bread that had went stale (she was thinking for the chickens and the ducks..) I have a Lazy Day Peach cobbler in the oven as I type.  I love to make them and eat them but hate to "waste" 5 slices of bread in them lol I am thinking of vacuum packing the rest and freezing it.

There are many variations to Lazy Day Peach cobbler but some really aren't that easy- well not as easy as:

1 quart jar of canned peaches, drained reserve 2-3 tablespoons juice
5 slices stale white bread, crusts trimmed
1 1/2 c sugar
2 T flour
a pinch or two cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

In a 8 inch buttered dish places drained peaches.  In a medium mixing bowl combine sugar, butter, flour, egg, and 2-3 T juice.  Mix well.  Cut the bread in 1inch slices, place on top of peaches.  Pour sugar mixture on top.

Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes.

If you don't have home canned peaches a LARGE can (29 oz) of store bought peaches will do, but they aren't nearly as good. :)  This recipe also works great with Apple and Pears. :)

Your peach cobbler sounds so good. We don't eat white bread only wheat. But I may try it with the light wheat bread I make. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

I am sure the wheat would work it is just making the crust.
