Make this delicious dessert in the summer with fresh peaches and blueberries, or any other time of the year with frozen fruit.
This time of year, when our local supermarket has a buy one-get one special on fresh, local blueberries we always stock up. And – when the supermarket ALSO has fresh summer peaches on sale – well, there’s no better time to make this fantastic Blueberry Peach Cobbler.
You can make this perfectly sweet Blueberry Peach Cobbler now with fresh, in-season blueberries and peaches, or any other time of the year with frozen fruit. (In fact, when we stock up on blueberries, we often freeze several bags to capture them at their best, and so we can make delicious recipes like this cobbler !
