For Mother’s Day at my mom’s house I was responsible for making the ham and dessert. Since finding out I have Celiac Disease my family has been super supportive and have tried really hard to have food I can eat available. Dessert is still a tricky one, so I volunteered to make something I could eat.
I decided to make Peach Cobbler with my brand new Jules Gluten Free Flour. So I packed everything up I would need to bake it when we got there and off we went.
You’ll notice I said I wanted to make Peach Cobbler but this recipe is for Pear Cobbler. When we got to my mom’s and I started putting everything together I noticed once I opened the SECOND can that the peaches looked funny. It wasn’t until then that I actually looked at the cans – PEARS! Time to improvise! So I changed up a few ingredients and made Pear Cobbler. It was a first for all of us but super tasty.
What you Need:
– 2 cans of Pears
– 1 cup GF flour
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 egg
– 1/2 box of raisins
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 tsp cinnamon
How to Make It:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put drained pears into 8×8 dish and sprinkle with raisins. In a bowl mix together the rest of the ingredients. You may need to add a little more milk if the batter isn’t wet enough. Pour batter over the pears. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until top gets brown. Serve warm with GF ice cream!
Anyone else want to confess to totally messing up a recipe and having to improvise?

For mothers day I was making gluten free chocolate chip cookies and forgot the step about putting to dough in the refridgerator to chill. So when I baked them they all spread together into one big, thin cookie. I didn’t have time to make anything else. Luckily I called my sister who had already baked gluten free brownies to bring for dessert (we both have celiac). But the cookies were still good (just ugly) and my kids and I wound up eating them over the next few days.

Sharon – Great story! Sometimes ugly food ends up tasting the best! I had a similar issue with brownies once.
Marlow – Cobbler does rock!
