Two Fruity Picnic Food Recipes

Picnics are the perfect opportunities to have fun with your family, friends, co-workers, or anyone else you associate with, because they combine good conversation with great food. I have found that the best picnics have mouth-watering desserts that will catch your guests’ eyes. This article has two fruity picnic food recipes for desserts that add sweet, fruity flavor to your picnic and is guaranteed to please everyone at the table.

Picnic Food Recipes: Pineapple Casserole

This dish is a great dessert, but it can also complement a main course. The combination of the pineapple and the spices will definitely please the palate. To make, you just need the ingredients listed below:

- ½ cup of light brown sugar
- ½ cup of melted butter
- 6-8 slices of whole-wheat bread
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of ginger
- ½ teaspoon of nutmeg
- 5 cups of pineapple, chopped
- 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour
- Powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, put your sugar, flour, pineapple, eggs, and spices into a bowl and mix. Take the bread and cut the bread into cubes, then set them aside for a second. Pour your batter into a baking dish (9 x 13), being careful to first butter the dish. In a separate bowl, pour the butter in and mix it with the bread. Pour this on top of the batter and bake the dish for approximately 60 minutes. When finished, sprinkle with powdered sugar if you wish.

Picnic Food Recipes: Classic Peach Cobbler

Ah, peach cobbler. This dish is an oldie but a goodie, and is liked by a wide range of people. The recipe below is a standard peach cobbler dish, because with this treat, it is best to leave it nice and simple. You will need:

- 4 cups of sliced peaches (Get them fresh instead of from a can)
- ½ cup of light brown sugar
- 1 1/3 cups of self-rising flour
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Dash of nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- Dash of salt
- ½ cup of butter


Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of flour, ½ cup of white sugar, brown sugar, nutmeg, salt, and cinnamon. You will want to use your fingers or a small blender to work the butter into the mixture, until you get something that resembles corn meal. At this point, toss in the remainder of the ingredients (1/2 cup of sugar, lemon juice, ½ cup of flour, and peaches) into a separate bowl and mix. Pour into a buttered 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish and top with the flour mixture you made at the beginning. Cover your dish and let it bake for about 10 minutes. Then, remove the cover and let it bake for an additional half-hour, or until the flour mixture is golden brown.
