    cherry goat cheese rustic tarts

    If I made these just like my dark chocolate cherry galettes, can I still call them rustic tarts?

    They are basically the same thing, a free form dessert filled with goodness.

    I have made a second batch of this goat cheese (recipe coming soon, I promise promise!), and I have been enjoying it with all kinds of things. The best pairing? A tangy goat cheese with a sweet cherry, enveloped into a flaky warm sugared crust.

    Look at that sugar.

    I spared a precious few cherries from my dwindling stash. Yes, I only have two containers in the freezer, and, well, a pretty large container of dehydrated. The summer of cherries is almost over. Only a few recipes left.

    It is not an accident that I chose to make my own goat cheese during August - which is National Goat Cheese Month. We are going to be celebrating every day until September. and then some.

    40-50 fresh cherries, pitted
    ⅓ cup sugar, divided

    Combine cherries with 2 tablespoons sugar and juice, stir until sugar is dissolved. Divide cherries and goat cheese among 4 pies, arrange in the center of each pie (see directions below), leaving an inch border. Fold the border of crust up around filling, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 350 for 27-32 minutes (check at 27).

      Aww, these look wonderful! I probably should try things like these again, although I still tend to shy away from eating too many carbs due to my sensitive blood sugar. But it has gotten better during the past months, so I should probably try some baking again.

      We just got back from vacation in Traverse City, MI and brought back a huge bag of cherries. I am now a woman with a plan. Thank you!
