Make sure the plums are ripe enough - it makes all the difference! To ripen plums, place them in a paper bag (NOT plastic). Do not refrigerate. They should ripen in a day or two.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Plums are a juicy and sweet summertime treat and their flavor shines bright in this plum tart. The base of this tart is a walnut shortbread crust. Slices of sweet and tart plums are arranged on top of the crust. The buttery crust mixture is also used as a crumble sprinkled on top. Easy to make, this is a delicious and impressive summer dessert that can be made when plums are in season.
