Second Prize:
Heavenly Peach Cobbler
Maxine Griggs, Sedalia, Missouri
When I think of the wonderful things I baked with my “Mom.” I think of August being a time of year when peaches were available.
We lived in the rural area of Rettis County and a young orphaned young man would bring my “Mom” peaches and ask her to make a cobbler of them. “Mom” and I cooked and baked on a wood cook stove and she would always say, He’s such a nice boy, I’ll bake him a cobbler and us one. I peeled the peaches and she made the crust and put them to bake in a “black skillet.” She always made a second and used the only pie pan we owned for the young boy. “Mom” could never turn down a hungry person. Today, I know she bakes pies in “heaven.”
