Use any kind of plum that's ripe and perfect in this easy tart. Half of my Hot Water Pastry recipe works for the crust.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 recipe Hot Water Pastry
- 9 large plums, cut in half and pitted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
Preparation:
Prepare the pastry and roll out into 10 inch circle. Fit into a 9" pie pan with removable bottom and chill while preparing plums.
Cut and pit plums. Mix 1/3 cup sugar with lemon juice and egg and beat well. Place plums cut side down into pastry. Pour egg mixture over the plums and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, until crust is light golden brown, plums are tender and filling is set. Store leftovers in refrigerator. 8 servings
