Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler Cooking Lesson

If you've ever eaten a meal from a Dutch oven, you know that these iron-walled pots can bring a special flavor to whatever it is your cooking

In Cave Creek, Arizona, I met up with award-winning Dutch oven caterer Barbara Kennedy to have a Dutch oven cooking lesson and learn how to make a peach cobbler

Okay, how do we do this? I've never done Dutch oven cooking before, and I've never made a peach cobbler

You will be great. So first you want to heat up your Dutch oven, and you have the butter melted in the bottom of the oven

And you just want to make sure that it's swirled around, nice and coach your oven, and then go ahead and pour the peaches in

All right, these look great. Just pour them in? Just pour them in, the whole bowl. Okay

I can smell these. It smell good. It will smell great. Okay, and then we're going to take some pineapple

and won't we grab that spoon, and you just sort of scoop these out

There you go. All right. You can smooth those, the pineapple kind of mix it around the top layer of the peaches there. Okay

The pineapple adds a little bit of a sweetness to the peaches and it just really tastes nice So what do we need to do next Next we going to take the flour mixture Okay And we just going to sprinkle that around the top All right

And then want you just stir that up like this a little bit. You can cook for a lot of people in a pan like this

So it was real efficient cooking, and they're very durable. Some of them were the complete trail drives all the way across

And this is what they used to cook in. They would use ovens over and over for the same thing

and have much simpler meals than what we cook today. We're a little spoiled

We sprinkle on raw cinnamon sugar, many pots of butter, and are ready to cook

We surround our pot with hot coals. Some hot work. And let our cobbler cook for an agonizing 45 minutes

And when you smell it, you know it's done. All right. Beautiful. My goodness

I'm sure everyone will enjoy it. We fill up our plates and dig in

Oh, you got a lot of peach cobbler. You know it's going to be good

You can set it to be back. This is pretty good. I want that recipe
