Ingredients:-


Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cup (160g) all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 ounces of unsalted butter (1 1/4 sticks, 10 Tbsp, 137g), cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup (57 ml) sour cream
  • 1 egg, beaten, for egg wash (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cream for egg wash (optional)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Filling:
  • 6-8 tart plums and/or pluots, pitted and sliced (about 1 1/4 pounds or 570g)
  • 1/3 cup (70 g) sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange (or lemon) zest
  • 1 teaspoon quick tapioca, or a tablespoon of flour (for thickening)

Method:-


1 If making a homemade crust, make the dough at least an hour in advance. Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cubed butter to the dough and use your (clean) hands or a pastry blender to work the butter into the dough until the mixture resembled crumbs, with pieces of butter no bigger than a pea.
Add the sour cream to the mixture and mix in with a fork. Gather the dough into a ball with your hands and flatten into a disk shape. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour (it will need chilling to firm up) before rolling out.
2 In a medium sized bowl, gently toss the plum slices with the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, zest, and instant tapioca (or flour).

3 Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator to let stand for 5 minutes before rolling out. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, or lightly butter a baking sheet. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pie dough to a 13-inch round of even thickness.
4 Place rolled-out pie dough in the center of the lined or buttered baking sheet. Arrange the plum slices in a circular pattern, starting from 1 1/2 to 2 inches from the outside edge of the dough, working your way into the center. Fold the edges of the pie crust up and over so that circle of the filling is visible.

5 If you want an attractive finish for the crust, whisk together the egg and cream in a small bowl. Brush on the exposed pastry crust with a pastry brush. Sprinkle with some coarse sugar.
6 Place in the middle rack of the oven. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-50 minutes, until the crust is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly. Cool on a rack for an hour before serving.


Ingredients:-

  • 6 ripe tomatoes (about 3 lbs), peeled and chopped (yielding about 6 cups)
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 sweet red bell pepper (or green) seeded and chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1-2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons sugar (more may be needed to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes, add to taste)
  • Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
  • 6 or more drops of Tabasco sauce to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (omit for vegetarian option)
  • 2 cups tomato juice (or 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes if you don't have tomato juice)

Method:-


  • Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Use an immersion blender or blend in batches, to desired smoothness. We prefer our gazpacho somewhat chunky, so only pulse a few times in the blender.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Place in a non-reactive container (tomatoes are acidic) to store. Chill several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend.
