TWD Berry Galette

Where last weeks Blueberry Nectarine Pie was very sweet this weeks galette has only a small amount of sweetener.  The difference was noticable.  Of course the sweetness of the fruit largely effects how much sugar is needed.  I don't know if the recipe was faulty or if the raspberries and blueberries I used were super tart but the end result was very tart.  I served it with ice cream and that helped to sweeten it, but I was uninterested in eating any without ice cream.

What I did like about it was the size.  A full pie is too much for my family of 4 especially when you consider the fact that my kids don't like pie.  I think my future pies might always be the free-form shape of a galette.  I also really like the rustic beauty of the galette.  I always have a hard time crimping the edges of a pie and trying to make it look like an adult made it rather than a six year old made it.  With a galette if it is sloppy it is called rustic!
