Post #31 - August 7th, 2006, 7:25 amI was told many years ago when I used to make freezer jellys to turn the jars upside down overnight before freezing. This solves the problem of clear on the separation of fruit and gel. I was told this was an old canning trick and it does work.

Butter Cookie Dough Cobbler--Peach
Dough
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt
8 tablespoon unsalted butter; softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 large egg; or one yolk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit Filling
1 3/4 lbs peaches; peeled, pitted & sliced t
2 teaspoon corn starch
1/3-1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract; optional
pinch cloves; optional
Dough
Mix flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl and set aside
Beat butter and sugar until well blended.
Beat in egg and vanilla.
Add flour mixture; stir until just combined.
Fruit Filling
Toss to coat peaches, cornstarch, sugar, and any optional ingredient.
Drop dough onto prepared fruit by heaping tablespoons.
Bake @ 375 for 45-55 minutes.
This recipe is for a 8" square or 9" round baking pan. May easily be
doubled for a13x9 inch pan.
Now that it's peach season again, let me highly recommend this recipe, which does not seem to currently be on the Cook's Illustrated site. I doubled the recipe, except for the sugar in both the topping and the fruit, which I increased by about 50%. I used a sprinkling of nutmeg and added a pint of blueberries, also from yesterday's Oak Park Farmer's Market. I used my convention oven, and it was done in 30 minutes.
Before
After
Serve with a good vanilla ice cream.
Thanks, Bruce! And a tip of the LTH hat to LAZ for the LTH Forum Recipe Index.

This came in second in a dessert contest at the State of Michigan BBQ Championship a few years ago. Other fruits can be substituted, i.e. apples, necatarinces, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, etc.
