Thank you to Michelle in Colorado Springs for this weeks recipe pick. Summer Fruit Galette on pg. 366

This recipe really got me excited! I have never made a Galette before so I was thrilled to try this one . My friend has been telling me about this excellent pie crust recipe. I made it for this Galette instead of Dories. I was very pleased with the taste and the texture of this crust. It's called Mama Easy Pie Crust. Here is the recipe if any one is interested. Thanks to Jett! 1 1/3 cups Crisco 1 1/2 tsp salt 3 1/3 cups plain all-purpose flour Paste: 1/2 cup milk 2/3 cup additional flour 3 cups capacity jar with tight fitting lid flour for rolling out crust. Directions: Place the 1 1/3 cup Crisco in large bowl Add 1 1/2 tsp salt and whip together Sift the 3 1/2 cups flour into the bowl with Crisco With a fork or pastry blender break up flour and Crisco so that it resembles even looking lumps Now put 1/2 cup cold milk and 2/3 cups sifted flour in the jar with the tight fitting lid Shake it good so it looks like a smooth past. Mix the past mixture with the flour mixture. Work gently so crust will be tender. When dough is smooth, divide and roll out for the pie

This summer my parents brought back some great homemade jam my uncle canned. I was given apricot, grape, cherry and blackberry! I used the Apricot for this recipe.

The crust above made two pie crusts so I made two Galettes each with different fruit. One has Peaches, blueberries and strawberries. The other has pears, peaches and strawberries. I love the second fruit combination the best.

The Galette turned out better than I thought. The fruit mixture with the sweet creamy custard was absolutely delicious. my entire family loved it and came back for seconds. I think I may have some for breakfast with my coffee! I will definitely be making this again .
