Plums = my favorite summer fruit. I tried so hard to get a great plum tart in my Bonne Femme cookbook, but I was just never happy with my recipe (and I tested and revised it a gazillion times), so I left it out. I’m so glad you posted this one. It’s beautiful!
Wini, This was so good. I don’t mean it to sound like I am bragging, but only with good fruit, just mix it up and get out of the way.
You must find a way to get them in your next book. 🙂

What a beautiful tart and you are so right – if the peaches didn’t smell like peaches, leave them there. I’m so glad to have Laurie Calder’s pastry recipe. I really enjoy her television show.

Sam, We are having a difficult time getting a good peach, but the plums were delicious. Happy Birthday again.

Hi Madonna!
Thanks so much for coming by and taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate every one of them!
I LOVE plums . . . and had thoughts of using them in a dessert just a few days ago. And yours sounds so delicious!
Thanks so much for sharing with us!
I hope you’re having a great start to your week,
Suzanne
Suzanne, you always have good stuff at your house.
The plums were so fragrant I just knew they would be good, and I knew from previous tarts that the crust is just a good recipe. Thanks for showing a little blog love. 🙂
Madonna
You’re so right, Madonna, your tart does look plum delicious!!! Your photos are so excellent…they should be in a magazine or cookbook. The tart crust sounds so easy, too. Wish I could share a slice with you.
Thanks so much Kitty, you are so kind. I can attest that the plums were good, I don’t know about the photos. It is nice of you to say so.

I love Laura’s recipes..how fresh and beautiful this is..
Again your words are so true..sniffing fruit:)
We bought white peaches at TJoe’s while visiting the US and they were wonderful.
I love Laura. I find her talented and charming. I missed the white peaches. I will have to check them out.
Very, very yum – and so pretty, too! Now if only I could find some decent plums around here….
I thought plums would be in season for you. I am really having a difficult time finding homegrown peaches. I do not need to tell you, but for those that do not know, use what ever stone fruit smells good. Thanks for stopping by, I am always thrilled when good cooks have something good to say.
Oh my, but what a beautiful tart! I love plums. And I love Taste of Home. They really test their recipes very well, and are meticulous in their presentation.
I just keep thinking I will be making something with peaches, but they were not up to par, but those plums were perfect, so I just kind of got out of there way and ended up with a great tart. Thanks for visiting Adri.
Just looking at the pictures of your tart made me hungry. I’m sorry you haven’t been able to find good peaches! This looks delicious, and my husband loves plums!
Lana, please give this a try. The tart crust is my favorite go-to recipe and the plums did all the work. And, if you have a scoop of vanilla ice cream would take it over the top. 🙂
Thanks for the Laura Calder tart crust recipe. I love her recipes. Your plum tart looks great and I love the tip about the almond paste.
Penny, Laura is a treasure and the almond just bumps up the flavor. I wish I had known about it sooner. Thanks for stopping by.

Those plums look gorgeous & the whole tart looks super yummy! I found your blog through the Project Parade link party. Glad I did! I’ve got to put this on my list. If you get a chance to stop by my blog sometime, I’d love it!
I will be right over. Thank you for stopping by.
This looks gorgeous! I love plums, but always have such a hard time finding really good, sweet, juicy ones. The next time I do though, I am SO making this tart!
I had the same problem with peaches this year. For some reason they have no smell. These I could smell them a table away. I knew they were the ones I should be buying.
We had some really good plums a few days ago! Didn’t think to make a tart out of them, though (our peaches have been good, and blueberries fabulous, so we’ve been using those). We should though — plum tarts look great and have so much flavor. Thanks for this.
I do not know what our problem is with the peaches, but the plums were so right I knew I made the right choice. I guess the lesson is to use what is the best at the time. I have to say I am a little jealous if you have good peaches. I have a real weakness for a good tart and it makes me smile no matter what is inside. Thanks for stopping by John.
Swoon. Your plum tart is plum beautiful!
Thanks so much Michael. The plums did all the work.
Madonna
Not only does this look delicious, it is a beautiful dessert.
Your Plum Tart is just beautiful and I can’t wait to try this amazing recipe. I only hope that mine would turn out nearly as good as your tart. Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a great weekend!
Come Back Soon!
Miz Helen
I hope you will give it a try.
This looks fun! We just got a spring form pan as a wedding present, but I haven’t been able to put it to use yet. If I can find ripe plums at the store this would be a great way to try out the pan!
I hope you will give it a try. The plums do all the work.
I never thought about using plums in a tart, although I have had a mirabelle tart i Lorraine, which is similar. I have a hard time finding peaches that I really like here…and I am in the peach state! lol You may not be able to ever get them, but Red Globes are by far the best to me and…shhhh!…don’t tell, but they are from South Carolina! …hugs…Debbie
Debbie, this tart is delicious, not because I am such a good cook, but rather the fruit was so good. Also Laura Calder’s tart crust.
I am so happy to hear your information about peaches. I think big corporations have cornered the market and they are importing from Australia. I sure they have good fruit in Australia, but by the time it is shipped green it has no taste and smells like the packing material. I will be looking for Red Globes. Are they cling or freestone?
I’m glad that I’m not the only one sniffing all the fruit lately. The sure sign of fruits or vegetables that have been picked too early is no smell. Your plum tart sounds wonderful with the almond paste added to the crust.
Karen, I live in Southern California. We should have access to almost any kind of fruit or vegetable yet it is getting more difficult to find that has not been engineered in some way. There are the farmers market, but even there you have to be careful. Many times sellers just go to wholesalers and then resell as something it is not. Frustrating…
On a good note when fruit is good it will do all the work for you. Thanks for stopping by, I always appreciate your input.
This looks so fancy! Yum. Pinned. Thanks for being a part of our party. I hope you can stop by tonight at 7 pm. We love having you! http://loulougirls.blogspot.com/
Happy Monday! Lou Lou Girls
