Plum had no time to write a real post….
The quickest of posts. I even doubted it would get done.
The in-laws are in town and we have been running around. Just back from Idaho visiting my parents with them. Sadly while I was in Idaho getting sunburned the weather in Seattle was perfect for baking. Sigh.
I made a plum version of this weeks Summer Fruit Galette. I used my mother’s homemade plum jam that I stole while I was there and some simple fresh plums. For half of the batch(I made mini ones…surprise!) I used the custard and for the other half I left it out. I prefer it without.
This week’s recipe was chosen by Michelle from Michelle in Colorado Springs. To get the recipe go to her site.
Sorry that is it folks. I am super busy. Luckily, I already got my Daring Baker Challenge for tomorrow done a while back.

I love your tarts!! Try I think it is called burn gel for the sunburn.

Love little tarts like this. I keep puff pastry and pie dough in the freezer all the time (storebought, I admit it), and with a few slices of fruit you can make a really elegant dessert.

Too cute. I was weirded out by the custard, I have to admit.

Gorgeous use of plums. Such pretty little eatable tarts!
July 29th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Love the small tarts, and I have yet to have a plum this summer. Glad you had time to share this with us.

Peabody, you’re amazing - kudos to you for still completing this week’s TWD!!! Those tarts are gorgeous. Period.
Have fun with your in-laws!!
July 29th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
it looks amazing!!! yum!
July 29th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Enjoy the time with your inlaws! Your galette looks great and like you, I prefer galettes without the custard so there’s less risk of sogginess. Oh, and that plum jam sounds divine!
July 29th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Hah, surprise indeed
The fluted edge is really cute!
July 29th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
I like that you used the pastry wheel - it’s very nice. And don’t even get me started on the DB challenge!
July 29th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Your galette looks great! I bet it was delicious with the homemade plum jam. The mini versions are especially cute.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
They look so tasty, those little minis! I am really wishing I would’ve used plums. Can’t wait to see your DB post tomorrow!
July 29th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
How do you get everything done and still come comment on my blog!? You’re out of control! Awesome.
July 29th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Oh my goodness, these look absolutely delicious!
July 29th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
lovely tarts! Came here for your gateau.
July 29th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Stunning, as always. I’m afraid you are a better person than me, between the big wedding and going on holidays I never got this month’s Daring Baker challenge touched . . .
July 29th, 2008 at 11:39 pm
they still look delicious. Have a good time with the in laws
July 30th, 2008 at 3:29 am
these looks absolutely divine. plums never get much love, and i’m not sure why…but these seem fantastic! Enjoy the visit
July 30th, 2008 at 4:29 am
I love the way you did the edges on your galettes. I made minis also, but not as cute!
July 30th, 2008 at 6:30 am
They look great. I love the little rolled one. And the last picture is really gorgeous.
July 30th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
In laws in town… Poor you!
Just kidding - I would love to steal some of that jam, too. My goodness, it looks delish.
July 30th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
I’m seriously amazed by the amount of plum recipes I’ve seen lately!
July 30th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Your little tarts are so cute! I’m gonna try this with the kids. Thanks for the great idea!
July 30th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
No custard? What’s up with all the custard haters? LOL. I love custard and was bummed I didn’t have room to drown my fruits with all of it. Love your little mini versions. Great job!

I admit, I still haven’t done mine. And it’s Wednesday.
Well, yours looks good, maybe that will push me to bake.
July 31st, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Yum. Just yum.
August 1st, 2008 at 4:00 pm
I love minis too! The plum filling looks beautiful.
August 2nd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
amazing speedy post! and I bet the (albeit, stolen) homemade plum jam must have tasted AMAZING!
August 2nd, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Oh Peabody those are beautiful! I love the different shapes and the color and composition of the photos. Wow!
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Love all your variations on the shapes!
August 4th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
your mini galettes are so cute! i enjoyed the custard but it’s good to know this is still good w/o it
August 5th, 2008 at 6:59 am
I’m jealous of your free supply of plum jam right now. I’m guessing the plums are a million times better than the hard sad ones at my supermarket that I buy sometimes with the half-hearted hope they’ll be tasty:) Your pastry looks absolutely beautiful in the photos.
