Well I'm in Georgia so naturally I have to make a peach cobbler with some Georgia Peaches. On our way home from Brunswick on Thursday, where we had lunch at a really good Thai restaurant, I stopped at the Georgia Pig to pick up a pulled pork sandwich for dinner. My daughter Jillian had asked me to eat one for her so who could resist. Anyway in the parking lot was a gentleman selling Georgia and South Carolina peaches, so I picked up some for the cobbler. I even got a free peach sample and boy were they good! This is an old recipe my Mom and I have been using for many years. Enjoy!
