The cobbler was just fine with the skins on and yes the lack of fuzziness was a good point to
consider. Because they were slightly overripe, it was difficult to peel them even with the peach peeler, but I'm glad I didn't. I left the slices big. I did notice just a bit of a grassy flavour that did not exist with the flesh alone but I'm going to do it this way again.
thank you for your comments.
It seemed like a bit of a new trend to me, but I'll get on board, as long as the chunks are big. Big surprise to me.
