1. 0:10Hi, welcome to From Our Home to Yours, a cooking  channel where professionals from cooperative
2. 0:16extension show you how to cook recipes that they  love. I'm Carlin Rafie, an extension specialist
3. 0:22with Virginia Cooperative Extension and today I'm  going to show you a recipe that I love, easy peach
4. 0:28cobbler. Cobblers are an American deep dish fruit  dessert with a crust on top and a fruit filling.
5. 0:38Traditionally, they were made with  seasonal fruits and either a dropped
6. 0:41biscuit or crumb crust canned fruit allows us to  make cobblers with fruit in and out of season.
7. 0:50The ingredients for our fruit bottom are one  cup of peach nectar. Look for a peach nectar
8. 0:56that's lower in sugar. three 15 ounce cans  of sliced peaches packed in their own juice
9. 1:02and drained, a quarter cup of this drained  juice, one half teaspoon of ground cinnamon,
10. 1:09a tablespoon of vanilla extract,  and two tablespoons of corn starch.
11. 1:15We are going to make a drop biscuit topping for  this recipe. Ingredients for the topping are one
12. 1:22cup of dry pancake mix (look for a dry pancake mix  that is lower in fat), 2/3 cup all purpose flour,
13. 1:311 tablespoon of either margarine or butter, 1  half cup sugar, 2/3 cup fat free evaporated milk,
14. 1:40a half a teaspoon of nutmeg,  and a tablespoon of brown sugar.
15. 1:44First, we're going to prepare the fruit mixture  to go in the pan and then we'll prepare the drop
16. 1:49biscuit mixture to go on top. I've preheated my  oven to 400 degrees, so let's make the fruit.
17. 1:56So, we're going to combine the peach nectar, the  reserved juice, from the peaches, the corn starch,
18. 2:01cinnamon and vanilla in a quart sauce pan  where we're going to cook it up. So I'm adding
19. 2:07the half teaspoon of cinnamon and a  tablespoon of vanilla to the liquid.
20. 2:19Now to be sure that the cornstarch doesn't  clump, I'm going to mix the cornstarch
21. 2:26with the reserved peach juice liquid before  adding it to the rest of the mixture,
22. 2:36that'll make sure that when I add it  to the heating liquid it doesn't clump.
23. 2:55Now, we're going to stir this on medium  heat until it boils and then thickens.
24. 3:12Then once it is thickened  we remove it from the heat.
25. 3:21Add the peaches
26. 3:35And then we're going to put it in the pan.
27. 3:44So, I've taken the cooked fruit mixture and  I've put it in a Pyrex that was lightly greased,
28. 3:49and now I'm going to prepare the dry ingredients.  So, I have my dry ingredients here the pancake mix
29. 3:56flour and sugar will be mixed together. Pancake  mix comes with fat and leavening already added.
30. 4:05When choosing pancake mix, read the nutrition  label to choose a brand that does not have
31. 4:10trans fats in it, which are not good for heart  health. So, I'm going to add the two-thirds cup
32. 4:16of flour to our mixture and I'm using a method  for measuring flour that you should use.
33. 4:24This is a sifted flour. Put the flour into your  into your measuring cup and then use the flat end
34. 4:31of a knife to just scrape it scrape off the top  of it so that you get an accurate flower measure.
35. 4:43Now, I'll add the sugar,
36. 4:52the nutmeg and just a little bit of brown sugar.
37. 5:08Okay, so I've created just a  little well in my dry ingredients,
38. 5:12and now I'm going to add the melted margarine.  I just melted it, actually it's butter melted
39. 5:16butter, just melted this in my microwave,  and the two-thirds cup evaporated milk.
40. 5:27Then we're going to mix this together until  smooth and this is going to go on top of the
41. 5:33peaches.
42. 5:40Okay and then we just spoon this  onto the peach, onto the peaches
43. 5:52and then just spread this out until it covers your  peaches. Then this is going to go into the oven,
44. 6:00and in it goes. This will cook for 15  to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
45. 6:11This is what it looks like when  it's done! Delicious. A portion of
46. 6:15this dessert is 300 calories and 67 grams of  carbohydrate, but it only has 2 grams of fat.
47. 6:29So, that's today's recipe From Our Home to  Yours. For more great recipes, visit our youtube
