I am so excited about the Sucre giveaway, I almost forgot about my Mango Peach Cobbler...

Hey, I am going to keep it real simple. Place all the ingredients for the filling into a pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, that's it!

Now for the pie crust, start with diced, cold, almost frozen butter. I dice the butter first, then put it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. I use ice cold water to bind the dough together, a little pink Himalayan sea salt...yes, I know...what?

Yep, sometimes I like to be a little fancy...lol.  And if you dare, you can substitute a stick of the butter for lard...yes...lard...just like grandma's...

And you must, I repeat, must, use excellent, real vanilla...and yes, there's a thing called fake vanilla..and yes, it should be against the law to sell it!

If you look real close in the picture, you see dots in the dough...yes people...that's REAL BUTTER!

I wanted to give my cobbler a biscuit look, so I took my biscuit cutter, dipped it in a little flour and cut out these pretty rounds.

Look at what we have here, I took the end piece because that's my favorite part.

And, in true southern tradition, I topped my Mango Peach Cobbler with a nice scoop of Real Vanilla ice cream...as you can tell, I have some big issues when it comes to my vanilla...lol...Let's Eat!
