TWD: Summer Fruit Galette

Summer Fruit Galette

Its another week and another Tuesdays with Dorie!  We seem to be on a fruit kick (which I LOVE!) as this weeks recipe was Summer Fruit Galette chosen by Michelle of Michelle in Colorado Springs.

Summer Fruit Galette

I had picked up some lovely fresh peaches at the grocery store the other day so I had the perfect fruit for the galette.  It called for a jam to be spread on the dough so I used some yummy strawberry jam that my aunt made.  So delicious!  It has Godiva Carmel Liqueur added...great flavor combination!

This is a pretty rustic tart, Dorie seems to like rustic. I kind of like it too. What's to like about something that you don't have to fuss over or make sure it looks just perfect? All you have to do is spread some jam on the crust and top with the fruit, then fold the excess crust up to seal it all in. Easy and delicious!

The recipe calls for a custard to be poured onto the galette after it has baked for awhile but I decided to leave it off. The custard seemed a bit much for such a simple dessert. The combination of the jam and peaches was too good to overpower with a custard. I decided to top it all off with some whipped cream instead. There's just something delicious about peaches and whipped cream. So delicious!

This galette was very tasty with the fresh peaches. I'm sure it would be delicious too with fresh berries of some sort as well.
