Cherry Flaky Pie

“Never do for a child what he is capable of doing for himself.”--Elizabeth Hainstock

Salam..... Merhaba from Turkey everyone.....

Weekend is my favorite time..when we can spend time with family, husband and kid or with your friend. Don't you agree of that? Spending quality time with your love ones.

Welcome September.. the month where summer will end and fall will come. And as the season changes, I should prepare some change on our wardrobe---yeahhh... maybe it's too early for some of you-- but for me as a mom of growing kid, I am not sure that my kid still has some fall/winter clothes which still suit for her.

Kids growing so fast you know. We change her shoes twice. I remember bought her new shoes for summer at early summer this year... but couple weeks ago she complained that her feed was pain.. she said in her mix language "mommy, my feet sıkıstı"

sıkıstı she means like in bind or being pressed in Turkish (^,^) . So Last week we bought new shoes for her.

And of course with her clothes.... I should check and prepare all for upcoming fall/ winter-head to toe...
Anyway.... summer almost end and I'm a little regret I didn't buy much cherry this summer. I love cherry and like always do previous summer I freeze them for dessert in fall/ winter. Sometimes I made cherry jam. But as I said, I didn't buy much cherry this season....

Cherry Galette

Merhaba From Turkiye.... Selam.

Cherry is in season..... yes, I love cherry...the fruit I never ate before in my homeland... I don't know... was there cherry tree some where I didn't know or really there was not one. But cherry is very hard to find in Indonesia, except cherry in can/ preserved.
That's why I really enjoy eating them fresh or make them something. 

Yesterday there were two Indonesian students visited us.. So happy to see them because I didn't meet them for a quite long time due to their exam before summer holiday. So touching also cause they came to farewell to me and family before they spend summer holiday in Indonesia... They are both good and nice girls.. I miss them already...

They brought us a bag of sweet cherry that I like...thank you girls! so I'm thinking to make a nice yet crunchy dessert for our iftar.... so voalla.. I got this idea.. Cherry galette...
With sweet delish cherry filling meet with slightly savory flaky crust... what could be delight than that? Oh. yeah.. with warm love of family...  

For the dough, I use smitten kitchen's flaky pie recipe. Besides it's using all butter in the recipe (no shortening required) also the crust is so nice with the flaky crunchy result. I just love it.

Homemade Cherry Compote and some Facts about Cherry

As I said previously, for celebrating cherry season (read: Low price cherry) here in Turkey I will post some recipe using this fascinating cherry. And read some facts about this little cute fruit below that I copy from some sources.

 

Some great facts and advantages about this Cherry:
* Cherry contain anthocyanins which combat diabetes (lowers blood sugar levels)

* Consuming fresh Cherry also can reduce levels of cholesterol in the blood.

As reported by genius beauty, cherry juice can improve your sleep quality. Research has shown that people who had been drinking cherry juice without the sugar in the morning and evening, have better sleep than those who drink other juice in the same amount. The average duration of their sleep improved by 17 minutes after eating cherry juice.
The content of the cherry juice affects melatonin in the body. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep and wake cycles, as manifested by Wilfred Pigeon, a psychiatrist the University of Rochester in New York.

Check my other post using Cherries.

Well, after knowing the fact of these cherry.. let's make this one also, shall we? ^,^

Ingredients:
 500 grams of fresh cherry fruit, pitted and clean the stem.
 7 tablespoons granulated sugar (or you can use diabetes sugar for a healthy reason)
 ¾ tsp citric acid (or can be replaced with 2 tablespoons lemon juice)
 ¾ cup water
 ½ tsp Vanilla extract

In a heavy-bottom sauce pan, put sugar, water and citric acid, bring to almost boiling and  sugar dissolves. Put in fresh cherry, stir very gently until all cherries covered with the syrup, let it cook about 2 ~ 3 minutes.
If you cook it too long, cherry will soft and tend to crushed, but if you like it that way (slightly like jam), you can also cook them a bit longer.

Let stand until room temperature before storage in sterile jars. Keep refrigerated

(Yield about 700 gr). You can double the recipe to make more yield.
