Peaches and Cream CheeseCake!!! - 52 Cakes and Pies at Home


OH BOY  CHEESECAKE!!!

But not just any Cheesecake, this one is PACKED with peaches.  I made the recipe year round using canned peaches,but I actually used fresh seasonal local Missouri Peaches for this recipe.

And the result is a creamy sweet custard that has peaches in every bite!  Made nice and tall in a Springform pan but could easily be made as bars in a Casserole pan.Makes for a welcome dish at any "Pass a Plate" occasion.  A stand out dish to serve.

This recipe has been added to my growing list of "52 Church PotLuck Dishes"!

A list of something NEW worthy of being shown off at a neighborhood BYODish (Bring Your Own Dish) Party, a Family special occasion dinner, Any Big Holiday Gathering or of course that glorious day when you bring a dish to share with your Church family...

Ages ago, literally almost a half century ago I was listening to our pastor talking about a PotLuck Dinner. It happened to be scheduled around a church work day when we were expected to weed, polish and do general cleaning and maintenance around the church (you know, back in the day when there were no no-wax floors and church pews smelled of Old English furniture polish). I am of course paraphrasing, but as I recall the pastor said,

"A potluck, like a church requires work. At a potluck everyone is expected to contribute.. At a church no one should come empty handed and no one should leave unfed".
I will confess that in my youth I brought more store bought plastic spoons and forks than I ever brought covered dishes and crock pots of fresh made love and caring delights. But now that I have become a hobbyist cook, I occasionally am reminded of those days and people from my youth. I reminded and I do wish that I could drop a dish of some new creation on those old tables at my fondly remembered Liberty Baptist Church.  Tables covered with newspapers and loaded with God's bounty prepared with love and caring... Enjoy
