CRYSTALLIZED GINGER, True Cinnamon
Ingredients:
1 ready-made pie crust
3-4 cups fresh sliced figs
1 can sliced peaches (14.5 ounce can), drained well
1 Tblspn lemon juice
3 Tblspns sugar
1 Tblspn all purpose flour
1/2 tsp True Cinnamon
2 Tblspns Crystallized Ginger
1/4 cup peach preserves
2 Tblspns honey
1 egg white
Directions: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Roll out the dough and place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Mix together the figs, peaches, lemon juice, 2 Tblspns of sugar, flour, True Cinnamon, and Crystallized Ginger. Spread the peach preserves over the center of the dough (leave about 1.5 inches of the dough around the preserves in the center). Pour the fig/peach mixture over the preserves. Drizzle the top of the fig/peach mixture with the honey. Gently fold the outer dough around the center fig/peach mixture, making an edge and leaving the center mixture open and uncovered. Brush the outer edges of the dough with the egg white and then sprinkle with the remaining 1 Tblspn of sugar. Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cover the edges of the galette with foil, if needed to keep it from getting too brown. Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees and bake for an additional 25 minutes. Remove the galette from the oven when the figs are softened and the crust is golden. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.
