Peaches are one of my favorite fruits. There’s nothing better than biting into a freshly picked peach that is in season. To that end, I recommend using fresh, not frozen, peaches for this delicious homemade peach cobbler recipe that’s spiced up with nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Because there are so many varieties of peaches grown in a number of regions throughout the United States, you can find peaches almost year-round. But it’s August through September when the peach picking really gets good. It's a great time to stock up on for things like my jam recipe.

When selecting peaches, look for an even background of color and no blemishes. Next, look for a well-defined crease in the fruit. Avoid fruit that is green around the stem (that means they aren’t fully ripe. And finally, give that peach a good sniff! If it smells nice and sweet it most likely will taste just as sweet. This fresh peach cobbler recipe serves four but can be easily increased to serve eight. Although it is best right out of the oven, leftover cobbler will not go uneaten. Believe me!
