Dutch Oven Dinner


Saturday was out ward Dutch Oven Dinner. Thanks to Tisha, activities queen, for organizing the whole thing! Jared made peach cobbler like my dad has always made. I have looked around and haven't seen the exact same recipe out there. Several people asked so I thought I would just post it here. Enjoy! Note-- this dish is great when there's a chill in the air!

5 Large Cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup
5 Jiffy Cake mixes either yellow or white
1 1/2 cups sugar
Cinnamon
2 sticks butter

Light the coals outside on heavy foil on the concrete. Have enough coals for underneath the cooker as well as some to put on top while the cobbler is cooking.

When the coals are hot, set the Dutch oven on the coals.
Melt the butter in the Dutch oven.
When butter is melted, add the peaches with syrup.
Pour in the sugar, stir a little.

Sprinkle all the cake mix over the top so it is well covered . Put the lid on the cooker placing hot coals on the lid surface.

Cook until done which will be at least 30-40 minutes if your coals are hot. It will be boiling really well and brown on top.

When you serve it, dip down in to get peaches and as you serve it the cake mix topping will mix in with the fruit.
