Blueberry & plums Galette

I love galettes, and are one of my favorites treats!

Any type of fruit would be amazing in this galette, At first I think in pears and blueberries, but when I found plums I made with them and frozen blueberries.
You can make with apples, pears,strawberries, peaches, figs, cranberries.
Use whatever's in season.
And savoury combination are delicious too!

Wood cook stove (many houses in the South of Chile (like Villarrica)have these stoves for cook next to the usually  gas stove

(This will keep the berry juices from seeping through the bottom)
