Blueberry-Peach Honey Wine Galette – The dessert that dreams are made of! Sun ripened peaches, freshly picked blueberries, and sweet peach honey wine from Oliver Winery all baked together in a flaky crust.
I wanted to make pie this week, but with a different twist. The one single pastry crust in my freezer was all I needed for this galette. Feel free to make your own pastry crust, but I didn’t. Some days I do, but some days I want a dessert on the table quickly, so I buy refrigerated dough.
Feel free to substitute a fruity white wine of your choosing here, but know it will not taste the same ???? I used wine from one of my local favorites: Oliver Winery.

Making this blueberry-peach galette is not difficult, as a matter of fact, it’s pretty easy!
It’s easy because galette crust doesn’t have to be perfect, and in fact, it’s supposed to look rustic.
Always use high quality ingredients, like ripe peaches, fresh blueberries, and of course, good quality butter, too. Buy the best butter you can afford, because lesser expensive butter varieties have a lot of water in them. That water will make your crust flimsy and soggy. It’s pretty expensive, but if you can afford to buy European butter, definitely do so!
Don’t skimp on the wine, either. As I said, use a sweet white wine like Oliver Winery Peach Honey Wine, if you can find it locally.
Blueberry-peach desserts don’t need a lot of sugar added to them, because both fruits have plenty of natural sugars. So, feel free to cut back on the sugar if you’re watching your calorie intake.
Here’s the blueberry-peach honey wine galette recipe. Enjoy!
