Instructions
Pickling
- Pickling blackberries or blueberries: Put everything into a pot. Heat up to a boil then allow to cool to about 100F. Put berries into a mason jar and add mixture. Close jar and put it in the refrigerator for about 24 hours. The longer you keep them in the mixture the more pickled they will get. Delicious no matter what!
Pastry
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Combine flour, salt and lemon zest. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water and honey, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed.
- On a floured sheet or parchment, roll dough into a 10 in circle. Transfer to baking sheet.
Goat Cheese mixture
- Whisk goat cheese and heavy cream together until smooth. You can use flavored goat cheese if you like. I particularly like lavender honey goat cheese.
Pie
- Mix pickled blueberries with 2 TBSP sugar, cornstarch and basil. Spoon blackberry mixture over pastry to within 2" of edge. Fold pastry edge over filling, pleating as you go and leaving the center uncovered. Whisk egg and water: brush over pastry. Sprinkle edge with remaining sugar. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Pull out and pour goat cheese mixture into the center. Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly (10 minutes). Transfer to wire rack to cool and top with fried basil leaves before serving.
