Last week, I posted a blog on How to Make Ground Cherry Compote. In today's blog, you'll discover how to use the ground cherry compote in a tasty baked crostata recipe.

Crostatas are wonderful pastries that are made either sweet or savory. Depending on one's liking, compote or jam makes a great base for a sweeter pastry. Top it with fresh fruit and was-lah, it's almost like an open-face danish. 

I try to keep all of my crostata crust recipes similar, as when practice makes perfect, this helps get in the flow to concoct a variety of filling ingredients so you don't have to waste time figuring out how to make the crust. Enjoy!

"I love to make pies - pot pies, quiches, savory tarts, fruit pies. I use an old-fashioned pastry blender with wires and a wooden handle. I never use a recipe."

Ground Cherry + Plum Crostata

Bake Time: 35-40 minutes


Ingredients: 
1 cup of flour
5 tbsp vegan butter
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4-5 tbsp cold water

1/2 cup ground cherry compote (1 recipe listed here)
1 plum, sliced (used half)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. If you have to make the compote, begin following the recipe linked above. While cooking start on the dough. 

In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt and sugar. Add the vegan butter and with a fork or pastry cutter, press and cut the butter into the dough until it looks crumbly. Gradually, add the water one tablespoon at a time and mix until the dough forms. Use your hands to roll the dough into a ball. Set aside in the refrigerator for a moment.

This crostata is a great way to use up some of the ground cherries you might have around after harvesting them. The tartness of the ground cherries balances out the sweetness of the plums, making for a pie that's just sweet enough to satisfy your craving for dessert but not so much that it will make you feel like you overindulged.
