Tuesdays With Dorie…Summer Fruits Galette

Since I started this whole Domestic thing a few months ago, I can now say, oh, yes, this was my Second attempt at making a galette. (The first I HATED.) This one was much better, and much easier, and MUCH tastier. That’s because Dorie Greenspan is a genius…and that’s about all I have to say about that.

It has been at least 2 weeks since I made this galette. Honestly, I am not entirely sure how to SAY galette (is it GALETTE, GAL-AY, JALETTE, JAL-AY? Dunno.) But I do know it’s a pie. A drippy pie without a pie pan. And it’s good. But then again, it uses Dorie’s Good for Almost Anything Pie Crust, which I now keep on hand in my freezer just for moments when Just About Anything occurs. (For the record, it does not vacuum or clean the toilet.)

I filled the pie with peaches from the back yard, blueberries from Bob Pond Farm, Cherries and Plums from the Farmer’s Market, and Black & Red Raspberries that Jon picked while working. So, very fresh. And the custard? Well, that was like the icing on the cake. I mean, custard on the pie, erm, Galette. We served it at the little get-together we had during the weekend that my in-laws visited, and it was gone in about 2.2 seconds. Served up with vanilla ice cream, it didn’t stand a chance. That’s why so few pictures, people. The natives were acting as if starved, and me snapping pictures was not overly tolerated. Forget about seeing it in a serving dish…you are lucky to see it at all.

For the recipe, again, head on over to amazon.com and buy Dorie Greenspan’s Baking From My Home to Yours…or, check out Michelle in Colorado Springs because she selected this weeks recipe and she has it posted on her site. Next up…Black and White Banana Loaf chosen by Ashlee of A Year In The Kitchen.
