The 2009 NY WG Food Events
Pot Luck, Fellowship and Sharing are key elements of the Gatherings.
There were several Food Events that made this Gathering more memorable:
- Adam had made a Peach Cobbler which delighted us on Friday Night and cooked up some fresh wild mushrooms.over an open fire
- For the Friday Potluck, Laurie talked Pennings Farm into slicing up 5 (or 10) lbs of fresh tomatoes which she then dressed. We ate them for the rest of the weekend.
- Shi and Michelle brought fresh grean beans and made them into a salad when our lunch caterers didn't show up on Saturday. The also brought a selection of Heirloom Tomatoes and cucumbers.
- Nancy seemd to show up with a Box 'O Joe just at the right time.
- Teri made two Peach Cobblers from Ochs Orchard peaches for the Sunday closing. Laurie wanted the recipe:
Anita's Peach Cobbler
4 C. peeled, sliced peaches
2 C. sugar, divided (I used less)
1/2 C. water
8 T. butter
1 1/2 C. self-rising flour (not regular flour)
1 1/2 C. milk
Preheat oven to 350.
Comibne peaches, 1/2 C. sugar & water in saucepan, mix well, bring to boil, then simmer 10 min. (or less)
Put stick of butter in deep baking dish & place in oven to melt.
Mix remianing 1 C. sugar, the flour, then add milk slowly to prevent clumping.
Pour this mixture over melted butter.
Don't stir.
Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup.
Batter rises to top during baking. Bake for 30-45 min.
(I forgot to set the timer & just baked to crusty brown.)
- and Laurie traded Teri her mother's Blueberry Pie recipe:
