Pear plum tart
(3)
1 hour
This is a very easy recipe for a low fat fruit tart that you can also make with other combinations such as apples and pears. I used pears and plums simply because I happened to have them. Brushing the pastry with apple or quince jelly is a little trick so it won't get soggy especially if the fruit is juicy.

- Preheat your oven to 190 C / Gas 4. Line a baking tray with greasesproof paper.
- Add all the ingredients for the pastry to a mixing bowl and stir till they hold together in a lump. Transfer to al lightly floured work surface and knead till smooth. Roll out to thinly to a rectangle about 35x25cm and place it on the prepared baking tray.
- Warm the jelly in the microwave for a few seconds, just long enough to liquify. Brush it onto the pastry. Slice the pears and arrange on the pastry in an overlapping pattern in two rows in the centre.
- Place plum halves around the pears on all four sides, leaving 2 cm of the pastry free all around. Fold the edge over towards the inside so the plums are partly covered. Gently press the pastry edge down to make it stick.
- Brush the pastry edge with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake till the pastry is golden brown. about 40 to 50 minutes. The tart tastes best it served when still warm, or within a few hours.
