Blackberries

I love baking with berries and making pies, like my Blueberry Pie Bars or my super easy Fresh Cherry Pie for example. Now that I know how to make a galette, it’s my new favorite thing. Why, you might ask? Well, it’s because I love how simple this amazing pie crust recipe is.

If you’re looking for Memorial Day desserts, this red white and blue trifle recipe is a great place to start. The thing I love about this recipe is the fact that it uses fresh fruit, is so easy to make, and looks so cute and festive for the American summer holidays. Even if you’re not looking for a festive spin on a berry trifle, this recipe is still great for summer.

Blackberries are one of my favorite fruits. Honestly, I’m not a huge fruit person, I prefer veggies (is that weird?), but blackberries are definitely one I enjoy. I love the tartness and the firm texture. Although I always eat them raw, I realized I’ve never actually baked with them. I decided it was worth trying to bake with them since I do love baking with fruit. I’ve made a few fruit-based pies before, but never mini tartlets. That’s why I decided to try making a blackberry tart. Instead of making one full-size blackberry tart, I decided to try this blackberry tartlet recipe.
