Rebel Recipes: Beat Furman and Kick off the 2024 Ole Miss Season with Delicious Peach Cobbler
OXFORD, Miss. — The long nightmare is over, and I don’t mean election season. Football is back!
This week, the Rebs take on Furman, who hails from Greenville, SC. As my husband, a born and raised South Carolinian, likes to point out, South Carolina actually produces more peaches per year than Georgia. SC is affectionately known as “The Tastier Peach State.”
Fittingly, this week’s recipe is for a delicious peach cobbler. Enjoy it with ice cream while we hopefully savor a Rebel victory!
