Directions
OMG! This is awesome. Saskatoon Berry Galette is like a giant jam tart, lovely flaky puff pastry with a gooey berry mixture in the middle.
I found this recipe on the ‘A Pretty Life‘ blog. Jo-Anna’s uses her mum’s Saskatoon Berry Pie filling which is a mixture of Saskatoon berries and blueberries. Saskatoon berries are similar to blueberries but apparently they have a ‘wilder flavour’.
I could not find Saskatoon berries and given that blueberries are not universally popular in this family, I used mixed berries instead.
The recipe itself is super easy, make the jammy berry mixture, roll out some puff pastry, splodge the berries in the middle, fold over the edges and bung in the oven for 40 minutes. It looks and tastes amazing and requires very little effort, especially if you go for the more rustic look.
A quarter of the galette went at the kids tea tonight, I am hoping it will last two days, but no guarantee.

Line a cookie sheet, with a piece of parchment paper. Lightly flour the parchment paper (I actually used icing sugar instead of flour), then roll out the puff pastry to loosely form a circle shape. It doesn't have to be perfect, this is a rustic pie remember! |

Place the berry filling in the centre of the pastry sheet. Note: If you think that there might be too much filling for the pastry, don't add it all. |

Fold the edges of the pastry over to cover the outer edge of the fruit pile. Overlap as needed. You'll have to move quick because the filling is liquid-y. |
