Woodward’s Garden: Recipe

( recipes )

Recipe Name: Quince-Huckleberry Galette with Almond
Recipe Chef: Dana Tommasino
Type of Cuisine: American
Food Category: Dessert
Serves: 6
Recipe Description: Quince must be poached before it is edible, and the poaching offers lots of flavor-imparting opportunity: citrus zest, ginger, vanilla bean, star anise, peppercorns, and cloves may be added. I prefer keeping it simple for this freeform tart to let the natural perfume of the quince and the huckleberry shine through. This galette is especially good with fresh whipped cream, crème fraîche, or vanilla ice-cream.
