Often times I buy generic because it is cheaper. Every little penny counts and it helps me save money. One thing I do not skimp on is my Fruits and Vegetables. We are a Del Monte family and that is the truth. I remember my Grandmother making her famous Peach Cobbler or fixing me a snack of pears and peaches. Every can she opened had the Del Monte name on them. The first time I ever tried Green Bean Casserole was at her table and the green beans were from Del Monte. So I guess it was only right that when I started shopping for myself that was the brand I went with.

For my girls I like the fact their canned fruits, vegetables, and tomatoes contain the same essential nutrients as fresh varieties. I feel good about that and feel a little less bad about not being able to keep our house stocked with fresh fruit. I also like the fact it is right on the can, letting busy Moms like me know exactly what they are getting. I know that the majority of Del Monte products are picked at the peak of ripeness and canned on the same day, to ensure nutrients and flavor are locked in. Plus they are really easy to find in your grocery aisle.

Right now Del Monte has this wonderful promotion called “Add Some Garden” on their Facebook page. This is a fun promotion because it really gets you, their customer, involved.

For this review I decided to make my Grandma’s Famous Peach Cobbler but I updated it. I added cranberries and peaches then made them in a muffin tin. They make perfect mini size desserts to dress up any table!

Cranberry Peach Cobbler In A Muffin Tin

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Dash of salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Brown sugar
Cinnamon
1 can peaches, diced
1/4 C. Cranberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Put 1 teaspoon of melted butter into each regular size muffin tin and then sprinkle with a little brown sugar..
Stir together the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and milk until mixed well.
Put 2 tablespoons of batter into each muffin tin and add 1 tbsp. of the cranberry peach mixture on top of the batter.
Sprinkle with brown sugar and then cinnamon.
Bake for 12 minutes or until they have a light brown top. Cool almost completely before taking them out of the pan. I like to flip the muffin tin over and let them slide out. Serve with ice cream if you like!
