This is a recipe that's been in our family for 2 or 3 generations in Mississippi, and I am 75 years old and still carry on the tradition.

Ingredients

  • 2 C. Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 C. butter, softened
  • 1/3 C. cold water
  • 2 1/2 C. granulated sugar
  • 1/4 C. water
  • 2 Tbs. Gold Medal all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbs. butter
  • 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 ripe medium cantaloupe, peeled and sliced (4 C. pieces, about 3x1
  • 1/2 inches each)
  • 1 can (29 oz.) sliced peaches in syrup, undrained
  • 1/2 C. packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

Directions

Heat oven to 375°. Stir together 2 C. flour, 1/2 C. butter and 1/3 C. cold water until mixture forms a ball. Roll about one-third of the dough 1/4-inch thick on floured cloth-covered board. Cut into strips about 3x2 inches each; set aside. Roll remaining dough into rectangle about 14x10 inches; set aside. Stir together granulated sugar, 1/4 C. water and 2 Tbs. flour in 3-quart saucepan. Stir in 1 Tbs. butter, 1 tsp. nutmeg, the cantaloupe and peaches. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in pastry strips; reduce heat to medium. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring gently and occasionally, until thickened. Pour mixture into ungreased rectangular pan, 14x10x2 1/4 inches. Cover with remaining rolled dough; seal to edges of pan. Stir together brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg. Sprinkle on top. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top is golden brown. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Cover and refrigerate any remaining cobbler.
