TWD~ Summer Fruit Galette
Summer Fruit Galette? Looks pretty simple, so we thought!
Well, I think this was our first flop recipe in a while! It all started out when my sister and I looked at the recipe and saw.......................8 peaches, 9-10 plums, etc................one of the sisters said " I think we're supposed to pick one of those fruits. the other one said "No I think we're suppossed to use all the fruits named" We asked our mother, and she said that the recipe looked as if you should use all the fruits. So she went grocery shopping for us, and got our desired fruits. pluots, peaches, apricots, and we had rhubarb. Great! We thought now we'll just have to try it out...................well, after halving the fruit, and "trying to fit it into the pie crust, we came to the conclusion that we were only supposed to use 1 of the fruits. It was hilarious. Trying to see how much of this fruit we could fit into the crust...............we ended us cutting it into slices, and using all pluots, and apricots. The peaches that we took all the effort to blanch, and de-skin, we ended up freezing for another use sometime. ( we didn't even pull out our imported rhubarb from the freezer!) After getting all the fruit cut and into the crust, Mr. Crust decided that there was a little to much liquid on him, and started to stretch and get a little mushy:) Wonderful! We quickly popped it into the oven and watched it bake....................as one other person commented, pluots are a little to juicy for this dessert...........well we can vouch for that! It was a little soupy, and much tarter then I expected, but pretty good for all our catastrophes! I would love to try this recipe again "properly"
Hopefully next recipe will be a little less eventful:)
Till next time......................
Be sure to come back and see the Banana Chocolate Marble Loaf! We've got some really cool ideas on what we want to do with it!
