Who doesn’t like fresh summer peaches, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries? Times like this always call for a fruit cobbler at my house, and that makes me miss my maternal grandmother, Ruth Peek Ellis. Mama Ellis was a Southern lady always up early mornings, apron tied around her, and baking something delicious, or peeling a bushel basket of fresh peaches. Funny how the foods we cook remind us of people in our lives that we’ve loved. This is probably the reason my mother’s old recipe box means so much to me now.
