According to the author, Marilyn Schiveley, of Folsom, it's a
"killer" because it's so good. "It's to die for," she said. "My aunt
and uncle had a peach ranch in Colorado back in the 1950's, and this
is a tried and true, never-fail recipe that gets rave reviews every
time."

Topping:

Mix flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, and baking powder. Add milk and
1/4 cup butter. Stir until all lumps are gone. Set aside.

Filling:

Next, in a medium saucepan, stir together brown sugar and corn
starch; add water. Add peaches and blueberries. Cook and stir gently
over medium heat until bubbly. Add lemon juice and 1 tb butter and
stir until butter melts. Pour in an ungreased baking dish and spoon
mounds of topping over the hot filling. Sprinkle with mixture of
remaining white sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. To avoid spill-over in
the oven, place baking dish on top of a cookie sheet. Bake cobbler in
a 350?F oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the
crust comes out clean. Serve warm with ice cream, or if you are
feeling frisky, whipped cream. If blueberries are not available, you
can add 1 cup more peaches to the recipe.
