Ingredients

Crostata Pastry:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 pound unsalted butter, cold
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Crostata Filling:

  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 5 cups nectarines and plums seeded and sliced
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
  • Creme fraiche, for garnish

Directions

Mix flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Work butter into flour mixture with hands or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse meal. Add enough cold water to bring dough together into a ball, handling dough as little as possible. Wrap dough ball in plastic wrap. Chill at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Roll the dough into a free form circle, approximately 14-inches in diameter. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle center of dough with 1/4 cup of flour. Toss nectarines, plums and blueberries with 1 cup of sugar. Spread mixture in center of dough to within 3 inches of edge. Fold dough border over the mixture, leaving a circle uncovered in the center. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fruit is tender.

Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature with creme fraiche.

    I made this recipe for my Mother, Grandmother and the rest of the family on Mother's Day. Since I had spent all day cooking a multi-course dinner, I decided to use a preprepared refrigerated pie dough instead of making it homemade. Also, the grocery store did not have any nectarines so I used fresh peaches instead. The only thing was that the juices leaked out of the Crostata and on to the pan during baking, but after reading reviews for other Crostata recipes it seems like a common occurrence. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and some whipped cream and it was delicious! I highly recommend it.
