Bumbleberry Galette with Apricot Cream
The only sugar in this delightful tart comes from apricot jam! Bumbleberry is not a berry but a mixture of various berries.
Makes one 10” galette
pie crust for a single crust pie
3 ½ cups fresh or frozen berries and apple such as saskatoon berries, blueberries, cherry and peeled chopped Gala apples
1/2 - 2/3 cup apricot jam
2-3 tbsp cornstarch
finely grated rind of 1 lemon
pinch salt
1 tbsp butter
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Line a pizza pan or flat round baking stone with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, toss together the berries, apple, jam, cornstarch, lemon rind and salt. Set aside.
Meanwhile, roll out the pastry into a large circle, about 14 inches in diameter. Transfer pastry to the pizza pan.
Leaving a 2” border, top the pastry with the berry-apple mixture. Fold the sides of the pastry over the berries, leaving about a 6” round centre uncovered. (It’s OK for the pastry to be a bit messy.)
Dot the berries in the centre of the pastry with bits of the butter. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle over 1 tbsp of granulated sugar.
Bake for 15 minutes then lower the heat and bake for another 35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool about 1 hour before eating. Serve with the Apricot Cream.
Apricot Cream
Beat 2 cups of whipped cream with 2 tbsp apricot jam (remove any large pieces of fruit) and 2 tbsp icing sugar to soft peaks. Chill, or serve.
