Yes, galettes really are the way to go when it comes
to easy tart/pie, or whatever you like to call some type
of delicious fresh fruit all wrapped up in crispy pastry.
For this delicious dessert which we actually indulged
in at teatime yesterday - just out of the oven - I cut up
six large red plums, tossed with 1/4 cup toasted sliced
almonds, 2 tablespoons of flour, same amount of
sugar, a smidgen of fresh ground nutmeg, and a dash of fresh
squeezed lemon juice.
squeezed lemon juice.
Tossed all together lightly, and piled all into
the center of a readymade unrolled piecrust,
gathered up the edges, brushed with heavy cream,
and sprinkled with demerara sugar.

Baked in a hot oven for 15 minutes, then reduced heat for
another 15 or so until golden brown and juices started to flow.
Definitely a rustic beauty.
Délicieux!
You've been plum-crazy, and I've been tart-crazy! HA! A galette may need to be my next endeavor. This dessert looks so warm and satisfying.

ReplyDeleteJust my cup of tea Mary - I love ready made pastry, it is as good as I can make. I love a savoury one too - the choice is endless.

ReplyDeleteWe've been inundated with plums in our garden so I've been thinking about different recipes to use them all up! It was 'plum' upside down cake yesterday. I think your galette will be next xx
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious Mary!!
ReplyDeleteI need to save this idea for when our plums are ripe. They are starting to turn purple, maybe in another week. Yummmmm!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so very delicious. Now I want right now.
Gorgeous looking galette. I'm eyeing our plums and hope to start picking a few this weekend. Your galette might just be on the menu.
