Fresh Plum Tart image

This recipe is based upon one in a cookbook called "The Joy of Cooking" by Susie Weisenthal. This is one of the best tarts that I have ever tasted. Please use USA grown, California, ripe, plums in season. The black Santa Rosa plums work great for this. I use the kitchenaid for this.

This tart is a great way to use up leftover plums. I had a bunch of plums that were about to go bad, so I made this tart and it was delicious.
