Making the PERFECT Honeyed Plum Galette | Sweet Delicacies | Southern Living From Home

A galette is nothing more than a casually made pie with far less fussing than the variation assembled in a pie plate. The filling of this galette celebrates the natural syrupy sweetness of ripe plums by only sweetening the fruit with honey. The honey adds a depth of sweet richness while highlighting the characteristic juicy flavor of plums. Recipes like this one are elegant and take advantage of the phenomenal taste of ripe plums, allowing you to do relatively little work to make something truly exceptional.
