Blackberries

How to store:

Keep them in their original container with the vented holes. They should be refrigerated and kept in the low-humidity crisper drawer in your refrigerator (the fruit drawer).\

Do not wash blackberries until you’re ready to use them. If you only need part of your berries, wash only the ones you need and keep the rest in the refrigerator. If you wash all the berries when you first bring them home, they will stay slightly damp, no matter how much you dry them. Moisture breeds mold, so any water left on the berries will make them go bad more quickly.

Ingredients

• 1 disk Galette Dough

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for parchment

• 2 pounds peaches (about 8), halved, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges if large

• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

• Pinch of coarse salt

• 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided

• 6 ounces blackberries

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten

• 2 tablespoons coarse sanding sugar

• 1 cup plain yogurt

Directions

• Step 1 - Roll out dough to an 18-inch round on lightly floured parchment (parchment should measure at least 18 inches square; overlap 2 pieces, if necessary).

• Step 2 - Combine peaches, lemon juice, flour, salt, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar. Gently stir in blackberries and place in middle of pastry, leaving a 3-inch border. Dot top of fruit mixture with butter. Fold up edges of pastry to partially cover fruit; brush pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Slide galette on parchment onto a rimmed baking sheet (trim parchment to fit, if necessary). Refrigerate until dough is firm, about 30 minutes.

• Step 3 - Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake galette 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake until pastry is golden and juices are bubbling, about 30 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.

• Step 4 - Stir together yogurt and remaining tablespoon granulated sugar. Cut galette into wedges and serve with sweetened yogurt.
