Really it's fall and the plums don't taste like they did in my sisters orchard! But as this will be my first post in OT recipe, well none finer, as well I just finished a nice dinner, red wine, and finally some schanpps of kirsch colored by the same cherries from my sisters orchard!

Wish I was on vacation permanently!

Carol!
You would love it,ecuador is really another world and just wait I will be posting recipes in my spare time when I get a second on my site, those I have held on to throughout my 26 years of cooking professionally to culminate I hope into a book of sorts, that is still being sorted out, if I can do it or if I am having flash back symptoms?

Anyway the tart is on my site, just it's a copyrighted recipe, but fairly straight forward, I can make a pm dream come true for those interested!

PM = pick me!

Might cost a bit though - seems half of Australia's stone fruit crop for summer was lost in a frost two nights ago!

PM = pick me for a PM! (sheesh!)

It's a bit of a worry ... the stone fruit thing ... Christmas in Australian usually means filthy hot weather and tonnes of stone fruit!

It will be expensive this year.

sounds like the bananas had it worse though? We had some good plums in Switzerland this August, great schnapps too, cherry and prunes!

Stop drooling over the plums and bake them! And don't forget to post plum porn for us all to enjoy!

OK..I stopped drooling and I baked it. Now, I'm struggling not to eat the whole tart!! It's absolutely delicious! Love the pate sablee, love the filling...even the plums I used which when I tasted seemed a bit bland is now bursting with flavour. A keeper! Tks, Jeremy!

Excellent Jeremy!

May I suggest that "quetsche" is actually "Zwetschge" in German which translates to "prune plum" in English!

Do NOT try and cook this cake with the normal Asian round plums we usually get down here in NZ and Australia. They are far too watery!

Also prune plums are free stone while most of the round plums are clingstone and a pain to get stone-free except for the lovely big yellow Louisa plums which could probably be used if not too ripe and soft.

Thanks, Carla, for the bit on the right type of plums to use. I would have used whatever's available and wouldn't know what went wrong.

You may because I was allowed to eat that fruit in Schweiz and France , we ate plums straight off the tree, so good tasted like passion fruits in strange sort of way!

Cheers,

hi, i was wondering what powdered sugar was. Is that confectioners sugar? We call it icing sugar as well in Australia. There are 2 types. siftring icing sugar and pure icing sugar. Is it pure icing sugar?

Plump Tart Alasacienne is one of my favorite bread item or dessert , whatever you might want to call it . I actually had my first Plump Tart at Greenwood , that was my best dining experience ever , the Greenwood Dining experience . I think that this is the best place where you can find the best and the most delicious plump tart . Now , since I know the recepie I think Im going to try baking it aswell .

Hi, I'm kind of new to this board, and just getting into sourdough.  My question is what is Almond Powder?  Is it almond flour?  I would like to try the recipe but need to know the answer about the almond powder.  Thanks.

I would guess that almond powder is ground almonds or almond meal, but powdered sugar is definitely icing sugar. I don't think it matters in this recipe whether you use pure icing sugar or icing mixture.
