There comes a time now and then were I get a real craving for some good outdoor cooking that brings back memories of long ago. Most of them good and some others not so good, I know you all can relate to that. Back when a few friends and I went to Thurber Texas in the 80's to see Garry P Nunn, Jerry Jeff walker play and we ate chili and fajitas made by a long haired dude named Odie or maybe Odis. Its been a few Sundays ago I'm not sure of his name but man that's the day I fell in love with outdoor cooking. Chili cook off and beer and fajitas and more chili and more chili and well you get the ideal. So what do I do when the craving hits me again? You got it! I fire up the charcoal break out the irons and turn up the heat on some good ole dutch oven cooking.
This is called Lazy cobbler and its one of my wife's favorite desserts. You can find the recipe in the Lodge book that comes with you're stove. Its easy to make but hard to perfect, I changed up the recipe several times until my wife told me that I have nailed it, and don't change it any more. Here is the basic recipe but don't forget this is you're master piece so mold it to you're liking.
2 cans sliced peaches, in heavy syrup (29-30 oz. cans)
1 package white or yellow cake mix, ground cinnamon to taste
1/3 stick butter or margarine
Now my changes are, drain juice of one can if using a 10" oven. Also I use only Land O Lakes salt free real butter, 1 whole stick, yes I said 1 whole stick. Trust me this butter is OOOO SOOO SWEET.
Lay out 15 charcoal briquet's, 5 on bottom in a circle under outer edge and 10 on top in a checker board pattern. May need a few more on top and bottom due to windy or colder weather. After a few times you will know what you need. Don't forget to turn lid every 15 min and rotate oven in opposite direction also every 15 min to even out the heat.
It is always good to have extra coals waiting just in case you need more.
There you go, time to enjoy, don't forget to add the home made vanilla icecream mmmmm mmmm good!
