Great recipe. Just make sure your pie crust has no little cracks or breaks to let the juices leak out, even with foil on the sheet pan!

This is great. It's from Epicourious' Gourmet July 04 issue.

Just doesn't get any easier than this, I used 2 cups blueberries and 1 cup raspberries, it was like make a pie without any dishes, I served it with some vanilla ice cream, a quick dessert.

Last Saturday Hubby and I had a craving for blueberry pie, but I didn't have enough blueberries. Your galette recipe fit the bill perfectly! I followed the recipe exactly as written, it was very easy to put together. I was surprised to see that some of the juices ran out over the top of the crust, I'm not sure why that happened. The texture was great, but Hubby and I found the lemon to be a bit overpowering for our tastes. Next time I make it, I will cut the amount of lemon juice and zest from one tablespoon of each to one teaspoon. Thanks again for a new family favorite.

What a treat! I used about 2 cups of peaches mixed with 1 cup of blueberries. The lemon zest really pops in this giving a refreshing undertone to the sweet fruit. Everyone was so impressed. I will be making this many more times. Thanks for such a great recipe.
