Since these beauties always arrive around my birthday, I feel like they are a special gift that God designed just for me from before the beginning of time. So yummy. So delicious. So wonderful!
Here is a recipe I found last year that makes them more palatable for Jason:
Super Fast-n-Easy Plum Tart
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
3/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
12 tablespoons melted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
1 egg yolk
2 pounds firm, ripe Italian prune plums, pitted and
split lengthwise
Preheat the oven to
400 degrees F.
Combine the flour, walnuts, and sugar in a large bowl. Add
the butter and the egg yolk. Mix, either by hand or with an electric mixer,
until crumbly.
Press 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture in an even layer into
the bottom of a pie plate. Arrange the plums in the
pan, skin side down, to form a flower pattern; begin at the outside and work
your way in.
Sprinkle the rest of the crumb mixture evenly over the
plums. Bake the tart for 40 to 50 minutes, or until it's lightly browned and
the plum juices are bubbling. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
Remove from the pan and transfer the tart to a flat plate. Serve warm or at
room temperature.
NOTES:
Tends to get almost “burnt” dark on top…cover with foil for
the first 20 minutes or so.
Plum Sauce
Add a small amount of water, a splash of lemon juice, and some sugar.
Simmer until soft. Remove skins. Puree with stick blender or regular blender.
Serve on Waffles and over ice cream.
