I've been watching the hairy bikers Mississippi adventure over the last few weeks. Some lovely recipe ideas as well as some very calorific recipes to- a lot of frying lol. This recipe for a peach cobbler looked delicious and easy to do. Here's the recipe if u fancy giving it a go. I exchanged blueberries for raspberries when I tried it but it's up to you. Photos to

The Hairy Bikers top tinned peaches with a delicious, fluffy blueberry topping that can be whizzed up in a flash
Ingredients
2 x 410g tins sliced peaches, in juice
75 g granulated or golden caster sugar, plus 4 tbsp
2 tbsp cornflour
75 g butter, softened
1 large egg
150 ml semi-skimmed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
200 g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
125 g blueberries
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Drain the peaches, reserving the juice from just one of the cans - you’ll get about 110ml.
2. Put the peaches and the juice in a medium saucepan and add 2 tbsp of the sugar. Cook the peaches and sugar for three minutes, or until they reach a gentle simmer.
3. Mix the cornflour with 4 tbsp cold water and stir into the pan. Cook over a low heat for 2-3 minutes or until the peach juice has thickened and looks almost clear, stirring constantly. Tip into a 1.5 litre shallow ovenproof dish.
4. To make the topping, put the 75g of sugar in a large bowl and add the soft butter, egg, milk, vanilla extract, flour and baking powder.
5. Beat like hell with a wooden spoon or electric whisk. The batter should be thick and smooth and drop easily from the spoon. Don’t worry if there are a few small lumps of butter in the mix. Stir in the blueberries.
6. Put big spoonfuls of the batter on top of the fruit. There will be a few gaps but the cobbler mixture will soften to fill them.
7. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tbsp sugar and bake for 35 minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is well risen and golden brown. Serve with cream or ice cream.
Delish. Didn't know what to do with the reserve juice - couldn't see this anywhere on the recipe and didn't want to waste - so added it to the batter which made it runny and easier to cover the fruit.
