Peach & Blackberry Galette

Ushering in summer with this fast and delicious Peach and Blackberry Galette. This is so easy you could pull it together tonight! Store bought pie crust (of course I love TJ pie crust) I don’t roll it out at all. I lay it out and add fruit. Mix 3 cups of sliced peaches, nectarines, berries or your favorite fruit add… 1/2 C Sugar 1 lemon zested 1 lemon juiced 3 TB cornstarch Mix and let sit for a couple of hours (or not). Add fruit to center of the pie crust leaving a 1 inch border. Fold crust around fruit and brush with egg wash. Bake or Traeger (AMAZING) on 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. I slightly under cook mine so it’s soft and not crunchy. Happy Memorial Day!!

I totally fall for all of the National Food Days! So, for national junk food day, here you go! Mini pretzels Bite size snickers Peanut Butter Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Stack a mini snicker on one pretzel and put in a 300 degree oven to melt a little (not too much). Add a little peanut butter on second pretzel and top snicker with it. Let cool in fridge and dip half of pretzel in melted semi-sweet chocolate. Refrigerate until serving. Stick to one or two at the most and you’re golden. Give the rest to a neighbor or friend who needs some cheering up!
