Its little intimidating to some, but so delicious. Really easy to take all the seeds out, and enjoy the redness of pomegranate.

Peach Galette

by Gosia Brockmiller

I think this was one of my favorite desserts this summer. It's delicious, very fresh and not loaded with unneeded calories. I had many people asking me how to make it. So easy.

1 disc of Trader Joe's Gourmet Pie Crust,  the best!

2 tablespoons of flour

5 Peaches

1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

pinch of salt

6 tablespoons of organic sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon of pectin

cinnamon  

Roll out dough on lightly floured PARCHMENT PAPER, not waxed paper that dough is rolled in. 

Combine peaches, lemon juice, salt, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and pectin in the bowl. Gently mix together. Place the fruit mixture in the middle of the pastry, leaving 3- inch border. Fold up edges of pastry to partially cover peaches. Brush the whole pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Put your parchment paper with galette on rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate for 40 minutes. 

Preheat oven to 450 F. Bake galette for approximately 30 minutes. Should be golden. Let it cool. Sprinkle with little cinnamon, while still hot. Enjoy.

I put pectin that acts as a binder for fruit juices. Peaches have a lot of juice you just want to keep inside the fruit. Pectin does the perfect job. Galette is not runny, and peaches are juicy when you bite into them.

 

Macaroon Story

by Gosia Brockmiller

I would always go for savory before sweet, but not in this case. It's something very special about macaroons. You can't resist this small round discs with divine filling in the middle. They are like little colorful art pieces, that make your eyes happy and they give your taste buds the ultimate joy.
