Rustic Fig and Raspberry Mini Crostatas - Fine Cooking Recipes, Techniques and Tips

Rustic Fig and Raspberry Crostatas

In my on-going effort to become a better baker (I'm tryin' Sis!) I could not resist this great looking recipe from Fine Cooking Magazine. Our local farmer's market blessed me yesterday with lovely fresh figs and raspberries.

Rustic Fig and Raspberry Mini Crostatas - Fine Cooking Recipes, Techniques and Tips

Figs, raspberries, honey, fresh thyme, orange zest, sugar...oh my!

Ready to assemble, crust rolled into 5" rounds (roughly!) Set on parchment and sprinkled with crushed graham cracker crumbs to absorb moisture from the fruit

Mound fruit mixture in center and wrap 'em up!
(yikes...I need practice folding!)
Oh, and don't forget the butter...and a slight sprinkle of sugar.

Bake until crostatas are golden-brown. Loosen with a spatula but let them cool on the cookie sheet you've placed on a cooling rack

A little cream...and wow! These little rustic pies are full of flavor, the crust is light and with a slight crunch on the edges, the fruit, so intense and beautiful...the only question, should I eat it or paint it?!!
