Time 1h5m

Yield 1 (9 1/2-inch) tart

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
3/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), diced
1 egg yolk
2 pounds firm, ripe Italian prune plums, pitted and quartered lengthwise

Steps:

  • 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 9 1/2-inch springform or tart pan. 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.

Plum Tart With Ginger Crust image

My grandmother makes this when her tree is loaded with plums. The ginger crust does not need to be rolled out but rather it is pressed into a tart pan.This is from Sheila Lukins USA Cookbook

Categories     Tarts

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely ground gingersnap cookie (about 1 ounce)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 lbs red plums, pitted and quartered
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup red currant jelly or 1/4 cup apricot jam, melted

Steps:

  • Prepare the crust: Place the butter in a food processor and process a few seconds until creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla and process until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 20 seconds, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl once or twice.
  • Combine the four, ground gingersnaps, ginger, and salt in a small bowl and add them to the food processor. Process until the dough comes together around the sides of the bowl, then scrape the sides of the bowl and process for a few extra seconds.
  • With lightly floured hands, press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a loose-bottom 9-inch tart pan, pressing particularly around the bottom edge of the pan with your fingers, making sure that the dough is not too thick.
  • Trim off any excess dough at the top of the tart pan with a knife, then lightly press the dough around the inside of the rim with your thumb so it extends about 1/8 inch above the pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork, then chill the prepared pan, covered with plastic wrap, in the freezer for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Prepare the filling: Place the quartered plums in a bowl with the sugar, ginger, and cinamon. Toss well and set aside.
  • Bake the chilled or frozen tart shell until golden brown,25 minutes. Cool completely, in the pan, on a wire rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Brush half the jelly all over the inside of the cooled tart shell. Arrange the plums decoratively in the tart shell, skin side up, starting at the outside rim and working toward the center.The plums should overlap slightly. Brush them all over with the remaining jelly.
  • Place the tart on a baking sheet.Cover the rim of the tart shell with aluminum foil to prevent the crust from overbrowning, then bake the tart until the plums are tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a rack to room temperature or until slightly warm, then remove the sides of the pan, place the tart on a serving plate and serve.

RUSTIC GINGER PLUM TART



Rustic Ginger Plum Tart image

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional bench flour
Pinch salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, chunked
1/2 cup ice water, plus more as needed
1 1/2 pounds red plums, pitted and sliced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon butter, cubed
Milk, for brushing
Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and butter in a large bowl. Using a bench scraper or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the butter is pea-sized. Slowly add the ice water, folding it into the flour until a dough comes together, being mindful not to overwork it. (If the dough is too dry, add another tablespoon of ice water at a time.) Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out into a 1/8-inch-thick circle. Then roll it up onto the rolling pin and gently lay it out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • For the filling: In the center of the rolled out dough, add the plums and sprinkle them with the brown sugar, ginger, vanilla, lemon juice, salt, flour and butter. Fold the edges of the dough over to create a rough border; it doesn¿t have to be perfect, just good enough to form a wall. Brush the edges with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake until the filling is bubbling and thickened, and the crust is golden brown, 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 40m

50g light muscovado sugar , plus 1 tbsp

Tips:

  • Use ripe plums. Ripe plums will be sweeter and have a more intense flavor than unripe plums. Be sure to wash the plums thoroughly before using them.
  • Don't peel the plums. The skin of the plums adds flavor and color to the tart. Simply slice the plums and remove the pits.
  • Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. Peel and grate the ginger before using it.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Be sure to mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help it to hold its shape better when baking.
  • Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. A toothpick inserted into the center of the tart should come out clean.

Conclusion:

This ginger plum tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party. The tart can be served warm or cold, with or without ice cream or whipped cream.
