Plum-Cardamom Crumble with Pistachios
On the rare occasion you need an “excuse” to use up fruit before it goes bad, well, that’s what crumbles are for.
Red Wine-Poached Pear & Almond Tart
Poaching pears in red wine gives them a gorgeous ruby hue for topping this ultimate fall tart. For best results, chill the filled tart before topping it with the fruit; otherwise, the filling may be too soft to hold the fruit up well.
Lemon-Poppyseed Shortcakes with Summer Berries
Sure, most summer desserts are all about the berries, but the fine-textured shortcakes in this recipe make them the star; you’ll be tempted to eat these tender, flavorful biscuits on their own.
Fourth of July Mixed Berry Cobbler
This oversize red, white, and blue cobbler is designed to feed a Fourth of July party crowd. Crystallized ginger adds a little zing to a standard cobbler topping. Although this is a classic summer cobbler, it can be made successfully out of season with frozen berries (no need to thaw). The recipe is easily cut in half; bake it in a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate for forty to forty-five minutes. Crystallized ginger is fresh ginger that has been dried and preserved in sugar. Good-quality crystallized ginger should not be fibrous, and it should be moist and tasty enough to eat out of the bag.
