camp food



We had some delicious food, including this peach cobbler. The recipe is a little WT, but it was perfectly delicious for camping and it's great for attracting bears.

Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler
3 cans peaches (drain about 1/2 of the juice)
1 cake mix
1 12 oz. can of 7-Up
lots of butters

Spray the dutch oven with cooking spray or butter it all over.
Pour in all the peaches.
Sprinkle the cake mix all over the top; spread evenly.
Put pats of butter all over the top. (I think I used about 1 cube of butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pats. don't you love the word 'pats'?)
Pour 7-Up all over the whole thing. This activates the baking soda so it doesn't taste yucky.)
Using hot hot coals, place the dutch oven over about 20 brickettes and put about 15 on top. Keep it cooking for about an hour....
dutch oven cooking isn't an exact science, so this will work about 1/2 the time, burn about 1/4 of the time, and be too raw the other 1/4. Makes you want to try it, doesn't it?

That looks so yummy! Sometimes camping food is the best ever and you're so proud and other times you have to get used to ashes and burn flavor!
