Hi, y’all!  How’s your week going?  I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a severe case of the winter blues and need some kind of sunshine happening over here!  So I baked you a pie!

Ok!  Ok!  I cheated and baked you a fake pie.  Well, what I baked isn’t fake.  I baked something that’s real.  It’s just not really a pie.  It’s an easy free-form pie otherwise known as a galette.    You can call it a tart if that blows your dress up.  This is a judgment free zone.

I’m just so happy looking at all these bright and cheery berries!  I don’t know what it’s like where you are, but here it’s been either dark, gloomy, rainy, and humid or dark, gloomy, rainy, and cold.  Oh! And don’t forget windy.  I’m not joking when I say the wind has been so crazy there are trees and power lines falling all over the place!  Whaaaat?   So, I’m totally ready for some warm weather and sunshine!  Who’s with me?!

Fortunately, spring is right around the corner and so is my birthday! Woot!  It sure will be great to turn 29 again. 😉

What are you laughing at? 🙂

Have a fantastic weekend, friends!

I had some cherries and sugar plums looking like they were about to go to slime in my fridge, so I needed to take some action.  And full disclosure – Chris was all wtf chick?  Can’t the friggn’ fridge fairy come along and organize this thing?  Jimminy!

And we are still trying to get this place in order with all the reno we’ve had going on.  Tonight we spent the majority of our evening moving furniture and setting up our office.  It was totally no fun, but WOOT! I now have a home, computer, desk, and a ginormous TV to watch GH whilst chatting with you!  I’m so happy!

Cherry Almond Sugar Plum Almond Galette

Ingredients

  • 1 pint of fresh cherries pitted and stems removed - I used Ranier
  • 3-4 sugar plums pitted and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 prepared pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven 400
  2. Transfer cherries and plums to a bowl, add sugar, corn starch, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey, toss to coat, set aside for a few minutes
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add pie crust dough
  4. Transfer cherry plum mixture to center of pie crust dough, leaving 1.5 to 2 inches around the edge
  5. Toss most of the almonds over the cherry mixture and reserve a few for topping and edge
  6. Fold edge to the inside and over the outer edge of the cherry plum mixture, folding in every couple of inches
  7. Toss remaining almonds over top and around curst
  8. Bake for 45=55 minutes, until crust is golden brown

Note: When I baked mine I also had beets roasting so with only a galette in the oven it may take less time, depending on your oven.  Just be sure to check it periodically to make sure it doesn’t burn.

Disclosure:  Use the parchment paper – I didn’t have my crust tight enough and it leaked out to make a mess
