I love fresh pastries and a warm from the oven blueberry peach crostata always puts a smile on my face.

I’m not an exceptional baker, but it’s something that I love to do (sometimes I think mostly because I love to eat), there’s something calming about baking.

Baking demands your full attention, and if you don’t give it, the results can be less than pleasing. But at the same time, baking soothes the soul, it’s never really like work to me, and I think that’s why I enjoy it so much. It feels more like recess, and I get to go outside and play. Life is suddenly so much better, even more so when the oven timer goes off…..

I’ve had a few of those days lately, so Sunday morning I got down the flour, chilled the butter, peeled the peaches and made some delicious little crostata’s…..sigh, and guess what…….life was suddenly so much better.

Peaches are still in season and couldn’t be better, so juicy and so sweet, I think I ate half of everything I peeled while making these sweet little pies. And what goes better with peaches than fresh plump blueberries, bursting with flavor…..sigh   All I needed was some homemade whipped cream to make this the perfect dessert or in my case breakfast! My morning paper, a cup of good coffee and a warm blueberry peach crostata…..life doesn’t get much better than that (well at least at my age).

If you’re looking for another delicious treat to make for your family try my Strawberry Ricotta Crostata.

    Chef, baking does the same for me with regard to soul soothing. These scrumptious-looking crostatas had to be as pleasing to the palate as they are to the eye. Lovely work, Dennis. Peace to you & yours from NorCal!

    When I’m down or stressed I turn to baking, something about it which I’m yet to figure out, calms me down, and this mostly take place at night!
    The individual crostatas look really good, blueberry and peach magically transform into more delicious and sweet delights when baked, so looking at your creation makes me want to bite my laptop screen 🙂

    Very nice! Ahhh… time, or the lack of it. Hectic lives. It’s so nice that something small with fresh seasonal fruit can make you smile. What a nice thing to do on a Sunday morning. They make me want to make some, or take a bite out of your picture!
