And here goes the last of the summer fruit. Since I’ve already planned out my apple-picking trip for this season, it’s official…summer is coming to an end.
So I did the only thing I could think do with my my lingering 2 lbs of peaches I had from our farm-make a cobbler!
We had a delicious vegan version over at True Bistro last week (my new fave local veg restaurant) and so it was a great inspiration for me to make my own. I did make a dumpling-ish type of topping, but it would be just as easy to mix up something crushed walnuts, oats, brown sugar and maple syrup. Actually, that sounds better, maybe you should make that instead 😉 You can’t go wrong with this dessert, just use this post as motivation, K?
NOTE:The first draft of this post, I mentioned ordering my first Shipyard Pumpkinhead beer-only to find out this morning that it is NOT vegetarian and is processed with isinglass. From what I’ve read, isinglass is dried fish bladders! WHAT THE EFF?! Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale, Sam Adams Pumpkin and many others ARE vegan, but check before drinking!
2 lbs (about 6 to 8 peaches depending on size) peeled and sliced
1 cup blackberries
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
Zest of one orange
6 dates, soaked for one hour
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt
TOPPING
1 cup organic all purpose flour
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp sea salt
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- In a saucepan, bring peaches, orange juice, and zest to a boil-reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes
- Remove from heat and stir in blackberries
- Once the date shave soaked, blend them in a blender with maple syrup, cinnamon and salt
- Then pour date mix into peach mix and then pour into 2 QT baking dish
- Mix together topping ingredients and spread or drop over peach mix
- Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes

Don’t you feel so frustrated when you find out something you had every reason to believe was vegan is in fact not? You have to remind yourself it’s about doing your best.
Im always learning! Im happy I realized this after ordering my FIRST Shipyard of the season, rather than drinking them through to the winter and THEN finding out! Thankfully I posted the pic of my beer on IG and someone told me about it! Isinglass?! NASTY!
Thay sucks, i hate finding out something i like isn’t as vegan as I thought. Dogfish Head Pumkin Ale is vegan and really good! Cobblers are so easy and delicious and the flavours in yours sound crazy good! Fresh summer peaches sound like a kick ass addition, I seriously would like a huge bowl of this right now!
OOO Ill have to try the Dogfish head one! Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin is vegan and I do love their beer-most pumpkin beers are actually vegan; shame on you SHipyard!
