Ingredients




500g (1.1lb) Mixed Fruit
200g (7oz) Shortcrust Pastry
100g (3.5oz) Caster Sugar
70g (2.5oz) Unsalted Butter
2 Tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
Egg wash (optional)

Preparation

1 Wash, peel, core and dice the fruit. 2 In a pan, melt butter and sugar. Add the fruit and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 5 minutes. Turn off and let it cool. 3 Meanwhile: Roll out the pastry into a circle (if you want to have 2 small galettes, then divide the pastry before rolling into 2). Place it onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. To prevent the pastry from tearing, wrap it around your rolling pin and transfer onto the baking paper. 4 Place the fruit mix in the middle of the pastry (don’t allow much of the liquid onto the pastry – it might become soggy). 5 With your hands start folding the outer edges of your pastry towards the middle, make sure the pastry is overlapping the fruit filling. This is a rustic pie so it doesn’t matter how it looks as long as the edges are “closed” somehow. 6 Optional: brush the pastry edges with egg wash (egg or egg yolk, beaten with a bit of water). 7 Bake at 180C/350F for 20-25 minutes or until cooked. 8 Serve with ice cream or sour cream!
