Rustic Fruit Desserts
A collection of simple and satisfying recipes for crisps, slumps, buckles, grunts, and other old-timey desserts by a beloved Portland bakery owner in collaboration with one of the region’s top chefs.An early fall cobbler with blackberries bubbling in their juice beneath a golden cream biscuit. A crunchy oatmeal crisp made with mid-summer’s sweet nectarines and raspberries. Or a comforting pear bread pudding made with brioche to soften a harsh winter’s day. In RUSTIC FRUIT DESSERTS, James Beard Award-winning chef Cory Schreiber and Julie Richardson, owner of Baker & Spice, share their repertoire of classic fruit desserts, including crumbles, crisps, Betty’s, buckles, and pies that showcases the freshest in-season fruit available. Simple, scrumptious, and always a cherished favorite,these heritage desserts are (thankfully) experiencing a long-due revival.
**Recipe watch! It came to my attention that there is an error in the Brown Sugar Rum Glaze recipe-pp 143. It calls for 4 cups of confectioner’s sugar, but should be 4 OZ (or approx 1cup). If you’ve attempted this recipe and ended up with a bowl of thick paste, be assured that it isn’t you! Give it a shot, it’s a super yummy glaze. Happy Baking!
