Take-out Tuesday, 3 Festive Fruit Recipes to Kick off Summer
I’m heading to the Gulf Coast for Memorial Day weekend
and have been thinking about our menu~
Memorial Day weekend in the USA is the unofficial kick-off to Summer,
so it calls for some summer fruit recipes
How about a sweet and savory flatbread topped with pear,
nectarine, raspberries, blueberries, ham and bacon
with sharp white cheddar cheese
It’s a crazy combo that is crazy good!
Summertime means getting out the grill,
how about some homemade BBQ sauce
bursting with blackberries and strawberries~
Yes please!
It starts with roasted berries
They’re combined with blackberry jam, maple syrup, ketchup,
garlic powder, Worcestershire, mustard, ginger,
and balsamic vinegar plus chipolte chili, for a very tasty sauce
Blend it with an immersion blender
and it’s ready for using on pork or chicken
You’re going to want something sweet~
How about a fruit filled galette?
Galettes are so much easier than pies
This one has a secret ingredient that takes it over the top,
the pastry is brushed with almond extract before filling
This blueberry and strawberry galette is perfect for breakfast
or serve it topped with ice cream for dessert
I hope you enjoy these Kick-off to Summer recipes!

That berry galette looks so inviting!
Thank you Angie!
I can always count on you for delicious ideas. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you Bernadette!
I do a blueberry and strawberry shortcake, just purchased pound cake, the fruit and some whipped topping. Festive colors and no baking required. I love an apple galette, and a blueberry/strawberry one looks divine!
Thanks Carole, that is a great idea, I like the no baking required!
Festive is certainly the right word! Beautiful Jenna.
Thanks Dorothy!
