Quick and Easy Plum Tart
While we are in plum season, here is another quick and easy plum recipe. This one has only three ingredients and is so simple to make, tastes lovely and it looks beautiful.
Now as this recipe only has three ingredients you want good quality ingredients. You can use whatever butter puff pastry you like or can afford, but for some things like this I like to use Careme pastry.

Now remember I am not paid to say this, I just really love this brand of pastry. It tastes amazing and puffs up like no other pastry I have tried. It is expensive, but for some things like this, it is worth it.
The plums should be hard, as if they are too soft, they will not slice very well. To remove the stone, you can either slice around the stone or you can slice it half, then try to twist the two halves apart, then slice.
This dessert is quick and easy, we loved it, hope you do to.
