I tried this Plum Tart recipe from Mrs. Beeton this week, and I must say, the simplicity of it was a breath of fresh air. I found the use of a small cup or jar in the center of the tart to be an ingenious trick to create an even, beautiful mound of plums. It's a clever technique that I hadn't considered before, and it worked like a charm. The tart itself was delightful, with a sweet, juicy filling and a crisp, buttery crust. It's the perfect dessert for a weeknight cook looking to impress with minimal effort. The plum tart is not overly sweet, allowing the natural flavors of the fruit to shine. The key is to use ripe plums, as they will provide the best flavor and texture. I recommend serving it warm, with a dollop of whipped cream on the side. It's a classic dessert that never goes out of style.
