Peaches N’ Cream are delicious flavors. . . a taste of summer!
Peach Dumplings is a new twist on a traditional southern dessert, peach cobbler.
Juicy, ripe peaches purchased at your local farmers market are the secret to this simple dish.
My favorite farmers market in Dallas is Saint Michael’s Farmers Market. It’s open on Saturdays from 8 to noon. See you there! My first stop will be Winona Orchards for peaches. :- )
Peach Dumplings
Mix the dumplings and drop into a pan of simmering peaches on the stove top. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes and covered for ten minutes. Dish into individual bowls and serve with your favorite vanilla ice cream. Yum!
