There are so many variations with almost any fruits in season - it's such an easy way for pie! Loads of recipes online for galettes and crostatas - which are really the same thing. Today I'm making a plumcot/blueberry version - here's the link to a post I did using this very interesting fruit (plum/apricot) last year.<br /><br />https://abreathoffreshair-mary.blogspot.com/2018/07/baking-with-fresh-fruits.htmlMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-26250183464462943422019-08-02T05:42:34.492-04:002019-08-02T05:42:34.492-04:00How wonderful to make a fig crostata, and to have ...How wonderful to make a fig crostata, and to have fresh figs from your tree. I love them, but they are rare and often nearly $50 per kg here! occasionally I buy one or two, about $3 each on special. I wonder what sort of crostata I could make here....would banana work?? xxxPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-88434968849211396002019-08-01T13:56:45.485-04:002019-08-01T13:56:45.485-04:00What a gorgeous galette!
