Plum Tart


I was browsing for recipes today to use all of the Italian Plums I've picked this week, and found a recipe for a plum tart. It sounded good, and it required just the right amount of fruit to finally use the remaining plums I have left from the harvest this year.


The smell of this pastry baking in the oven for an hour tonight was intoxicating, and the aroma permeated every room in the house. There's nothing like a late summer evening with a hint of Fall in the air to want to find a cozy spot in the house to relax over a cup of tea and smell something wonderful baking in the oven. When I finally took the tart out of the oven, it was everything I had hoped it would be--fragrant, lovely to look at, and hopefully (once it cools) it will make a wonderful dessert for dinner tomorrow night. Bring on the creme fraiche!
