Ingredients

Crust


1 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

¼ cup whole wheat pastry flour

1 tbsp granulated or coconut sugar

¼ tsp Kosher salt

½ cup vegan butter (Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks or Miyoko’s Vegan Butter) cut into ½ “ cubes

¼ cup ice cold water


Filling


2 baskets of strawberries, hulled and cut into ½” thick slices

½ a lemon, juiced

1 ½ tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour

3 tbsp granulated or coconut sugar

Pinch of salt

2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

Preparation

In a medium sized bowl mix together the flour, sugar and salt then cut in the butter with a pastry blender to achieve a coarse meal like texture. Add ice water and mix with a fork to bring the dough together. Pat the dough into a ball then flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour or up to 2 days. 


When ready to bake, heat the oven in the Convection Bake Mode 350 °F. 


Combine the strawberries, lemon juice, flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Roll the dough out to a 14” circle on a lightly floured surface then transfer the dough to a flat baking sheet lined with parchment paper.


Pour the fruit onto the prepared dough leaving a 1 ½ border. Smooth out the fruit and fold the dough edge up around the fruit.


For a flakier crust, the galette can be refrigerated at this stage for ½ an hour before baking. Otherwise place the baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the baking tray from the oven and brush the pastry with the honey or maple syrup and bake for another 10 minutes.

Baked Ham with Tangerine Glaze and Roasted Carrots

Since ham is already cooked by smoking it is most often eaten cold, however heated through and brushed with a fruity glaze it makes a great centerpiece for celebration meals.  


In order to heat the ham through it usually needs a fair bit of time in a slow oven and to avoid drying out the meat it is covered until the final stage when the glaze is added. However, if you bake your unsliced ham in Convection you will not need to cover the ham and the heating through time will take approximately 1 ½ - 2 hours, depending on the weight of the ham. If you are heating a sliced ham then it must remain covered in foil to avoid drying out.
