Why You'll Love this Berry Galette Recipe
Galettes are so much easier than a pie. No offense to pies, but you have to be careful with the edges and rim - they look a little messy if they aren't perfect. And with galettes, the messier the better - just call it rustic and move on.
This galette combines cherries and blueberries for a sweet and delicious dessert.
I used frozen berries because fresh berries are only really good in the summer. I'm a big proponent of frozen ones because they're picked at the height of their growing season and are cheaper than buying out of season berries.

My wife made a similar galette with fresh blueberries and a combination of dark and Ranier cherries when the latter were in season. It was de-lish. Galette's have become a go to desert for us for all the reasons Emily cites in the post. Rustic goodness at it's best.
