After picking all that fruit at the farms this last month, I had to freeze some since I couldn't use it fast enough. Today I pulled out some peaches and blackberries...a perfect day for baking. It's rainy outside and the cool, fall air is flowing in through the open windows. I LOVE FALL!!! I love the smell, I love the colors, I love the ambiance, and I love the food.
With a little butter from the freezer (because I RARELY use it), some coconut oil, stone ground flour, and sugar in the cupboard, I concocted a shortbread-like tart shell. I used about 2 cups of flour, 1 cup sugar (maybe a bit much), 1/2 cup butter, and 1/4 cup oil. After mixing it together I pressed most of it into a pan and baked it on 350 for about 10 minutes. Next I placed the peaches and berries on the crust and crumbled the rest of the shortbread mix on the top and baked it for another 45 minutes. Turned out delish! A few things I would change next time? - Bake the crust a little longer first and maybe use an egg instead of the butter and oil so the crust would bind a little bit better. All in all, still good stuff and super pretty! The best part.....I picked the fruit myself and got to create a special treat with it to share with friends! I love Farm to Table! More to come!
