Directions
Peach Mixture
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl or a deep earthenware baking dish (approximately 30 cm by 8 cm), toss your peaches gently with the vanilla extract, brown sugar, grated ginger, orange zest and juice.
Put the dish into the oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 375°F.
Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the peaches have softened slightly, you may need more time if the fruit is still quite firm.
Cobbler
In a bowl combine the flour, sugars, nutmeg, and baking powder together.
Toss the Mirage Margarine into the bowl and begin gently mixing with a wooden spoon, breaking apart the margarine into fine crumbs.
Now add 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir just until everything comes together, set this aside covered, until the fruit is ready.
Remove your dish of peaches from the oven and pour in a 1/2 cup of water. Gently mix the water into the fruit.
Using a large spoon or your fingers, distribute the batter on top of the peaches.
Return the dish to the oven for around 20 minutes, until the batter has turned a deep golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving as it is extremely hot.
Serve warm in bowls, topped off with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
