Fruit (Plum) Tart
Most pleasing to the senses, this recipe is a definite keeper! It's very easy to make, takes little time and appears & tastes like a masterpiece!! The recipe was passed on to me by my daughter and is from "Cooking for Mr Latte". The original recipe used peaches but most any fruit would do very nicely! I used plums (red and black). It's not a sugary sweet dessert but will surely satisfy the sweet tooth!
