Let’s not even being to talk about the fact that this is another cherry dessert. Let’s focus on the galette part! You know I have an obsession with those too. I recently shared with you Apple Blueberry Galette and made you a video for Whole Wheat Strawberry Galette!

It was natural for me to go with cherries, because of the 10 pounds I had sitting around my house. Yep this was definitely putting them to good use!

One thing that was a game changer for me was the fact that I received a cherry pitter from OXO. If you do not have one, you MUST get it! It’s a lifesaver for sure!

The kids and I had an assembly line going getting all of those cherries pitted. It was SO fun! My 5 year old pulled off the stems and my 8 year old helped wash them and pit them as well. I enjoy those moments in the kitchen with them and I hope you ENJOY this!

What is a galette?

A galette is a rustic French pastry that is very similar to a pie or tart. It’s made with a pastry dough that is filled with a sweet or savory filling.

It’s more of a rustic free form type dessert!
