I also made the Peach Galette at the same time, since it's the same pastry, might as well do 2 together - more time efficient. Also I could share the pies with everyone during our district fellowship meeting too. :) I didn't get a single slice photo, so you can have a sneak peak at my slice peach pie...(ps: I wish it had more peaches.. so fellow bakers who like more fruits, do add more peaches when you make it).
I mixed the mulberries and a bit of frozen cranberries I had leftover from ...the cranberries upside-down cake, I think?
After I cooked it down, I realised it seems dry after cooled, so I added another box (200g?) of frozen blueberries in it.. I was hoping to have blueberries intact.
Roll the pastry etc..
Baked
It is not easy to take a good pic under 5 seconds!!
I didn't even manage to take any good photos.
Surprisingly mulberry tasted very well with blueberries. I think the mulberries impart a very red color - not so much the cranberries? I really don't know. Somehow I can't see any blueberries..and the tartness from the mulberries makes you think the blueberries are cranberries. When in fact I only put a handful of cranberries. Mulberries were crunchy before but after baking, it became soft and not so raw-tasting.
We ate the pie with vanilla ice-cream. Everyone liked the pie. Probably it paired very well the the ice-cream. And everyone came to my pie counter first for dessert instead of eating the main dishes. lol! The pies were the centre of attraction.
My daughter who ate a slice without the ice-cream said it was a bit on the tart side.
Wow Faithy, I just don't know how you do it - they all look so fantastic. It took me two days to make the blueberry pie, and it is still cooling so haven't tasted it. I decided to leave the freeze-dried elderberries out since when I opened the bag they were very red mostly and Rose had said that red elderberries were not edible - So I just practiced making a blueberry pie.
ReplyDeleteSince I seldom have made any kind of pie it was a good practice and even made a mistake in the lattice - and didnt have the right sized pir protector and foil ring too late. It just too dark in places.
Love your darling little decorations on the top crusts, so cute!!!
Wonderful pie (and galette sneak peek) … speaks for your pies everyone came to your pie counter first!! I've used love hearts as well… your pie top decorations are pretty. Dang, I should have been "time efficient" and made the galette too! --- Jeniffer
ReplyDeleteYour pie and the decorations are beautiful! It looks delicious, too!
ReplyDeleteYou make the most beautiful pie crusts, Faithy! Glad the mulberries were tasty. The peach galette looks nice, too.
ReplyDeleteYour pie is so beautiful, Faithy! I didn't know what mulberries looked like, I thought they were just a crayon color and not a real berry!! :-) I am going to be baking my pie tomorrow. Our peaches aren't in season yet, but you have my mouth watering....
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty creation, Faithy! Those little hearts are really cute.
ReplyDeletePretty! Your crust came out much nicer than mine ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're so industrious Peggy! I don't know how you find the energy to cook so many things and they all look perfect. I love your description of the confused berries - blueberries who think they're cranberries...
ReplyDeletethat was so inventive! and the pie looks beautiful. there used to be a mulberry bush by where we played tennis and when i got thirsty i would grab some as they are about the wateriest berry i've ever tasted though red caps are pretty watery too. so interesting that they would transform when cooked but that is the nature of all berries come to think of it. for ex. blueberries when raw need no sugar but when cooked absolutely do.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try mulberries. You are inspiring me to try more designs on my pies.
ReplyDeleteFaithy, First, your pie decor is simply fantastic. I think you are truely artistic. You're inspiring to me. Second, when cranberries could be mulberries, but maybe blueberries are the cranberries, or the mulberries were possibly blueberries, I think you have a mullberry, cranberry blueberry pie. You're funny.
