RUSTIC CRANBERRY-PEAR GALETTE
Although now slightly tweaked, this recipe comes from the Jan 2003 cookbooklet Favorite Brand Name Recipes -- Holiday Desserts. Why it's called a 'galette' is beyond me since in France, I understand that refers to a type of cake, while in French Canada, I think it's more like a large cookie. What this recipe makes, for me, is more like an open, rustic pie! Whatever you call it, it is delicious!
