ABC - Glazed Apricot-Plum Galette

This month's ABC challenge is the Glazed Apricot-Plum Galette. Well, kind of. I made a Peach-Plum-Cranberry galette instead because that's what looked good in the store. Unfortunately, looks can be deceiving. The fruit wasn't very sweet so the filling wasn't quite sweet enough for me but it was still very tasty, and the crust was very flaky. I took the galette to a dinner party where it was very well received since the host family doesn't like overly sweet desserts.

ABC - Classic Fruit Tart

For this month's ABC, we're baking the Classic Fruit Tart from The Weekend Baker by Abby Dodge. I found some really good raspberries at the store so that's what I used. Although fruit tarts always look so pretty and appetizing, they always seemed so fussy. I learned with this recipe that that's not the case at all. There might be a few components to it but Abby breaks them down into manageable steps that you can do over the course of 2 or more days. I had some leftover ganache to decorate the tart. I mean, who doesn't love raspberries and chocolate? :o)
