When life hands you a bucket of the sweetest California cherries, you do two things. First, you eat them by the fistfuls because, wow, the first cherries of the season are always so delicious.
Second, when your stomach begins to hurt from eating too many cherries at once, you get smart and bake them all into the sweetest tart. And thatโs exactly what I did. I still have some cherries left over, but thatโs okay. Iโm packing them up and bringing them with me to LA. Theyโre too delicious to leave behind!
And so is this blueberry galette, Iโm so excited to share the recipe with you all. I know youโll be making this all summer long!
My cherries came from Peaches LA. They grow the sweetest peaches and early-season California cherries. I love both and will always choose their produce over others. Their peaches have never failed to be outrageously delicious, and the cherries are no different! And no, this post is not sponsored, I just truly love their produce!
The second I opened the box of the first batch of cherries, I knew I wanted to bake with them. I have so many ideas, but a simple tart sounded like the perfect recipe to kick off summer this weekend โ and celebrate Fatherโs Day, too!
This takes no effort to make!
Here are the Steps
Step 1: pit the cherries
I use a cherry pitter to quickly remove the pits from the cherries, then I slice each cherry in half.
Prepare for stained hands, itโs worth it though!
Step 2: toss the fruit
Next, in a large bowl, toss the pitted cherries with the blueberries. Lightly sweeten the filling with honey, then add vanilla and bourbon to richen and deepen the flavor. If you prefer not to cook with bourbon, you can easily omit it!
Step 3: roll the pastry out
Instead of making homemade pie crust, I almost always use puff pastry from the freezer.
Make sure the pastry is thawed, then roll it out to a large rectangle.
Step 4: add the fruit
Arrange the fruit mixture in the middle of the pastry, then fold the pastry over the fruit. It may seem like there are too many cherries and blueberries, but the fruit will bake down and be perfect.
Just make sure you pile the fruit in the center of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 5: make it sparkle
Okay, next, take turbinado sugar and sprinkle it around the edge of the tart. This will bake up so pretty and add a nice touch of extra sweetness thatโs not needed โ but is yummy!
Bake until the edges are turning dark brown. Itโs OK if some of the edges get a little overcooked!
Step 6: add ice cream
The only thing to do now is add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and slowly enjoy your slice of this summer galette recipe. Every bite is bursting with sweet blueberry cherry flavorโTHE BEST.
And all the dads out there will certainly love you more if you make this for them on Sunday! Promise!
You can really use whatever berries you love or have an abundance of this summer. Blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, or a combo of your favorites will all work and be delicious. Peaches in late summer will be wonderful too!

The easiest, most flavorful, quick dessert! I substituted strawberries and sliced peaches, following the recipe amounts. It worked perfectly. YUM! I ended up spreading maybe 1/4C of strawberry jam on top in the last 5 min, inspired by your fruit tart recipe from a couple of years ago using fig jam.

Hi!
Iโm hoping to try this recipe this weekend. Could I use mixed berries instead of cherries and blueberries?
Thank you!
Hi Zoe,
Of course, that will work nicely for you! I hope you love this recipe, please let me know how it turns out for you! xx
I used the fresh versions of both fruits, plus the bourbon and it was just a little wet for my taste. And then one of the sides of the pastry fell, spilling juice on to my oven. Upside – made the house smell great. Was very tasty though!

Made this and it is great. But I am not sure that the Puff Pastry was a 1/4 inch thick even before rolling – which I didn’t do.
