Plum Tarte Tartin
One of our volunteers favourite plum recipe….not her own…but courtesy of Jamie Oliver!
600g ripe mixed-colour plums
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
120ml maple syrup
320g sheet of all-butter puff pastry (cold)
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas 7.
- Place a 26cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan on a medium heat.
- Halve and destone the plums, add to the pan with 30ml of water, and cook for 1 minute.
- From a height, sprinkle over half the cinnamon, then evenly pour over the maple syrup.
- Place the pastry over the plums, using a wooden spoon to push it into the edges of the pan, and trimming off any excess to patch up little gaps, if needed.
- Bake at the bottom of the oven for 16 minutes, or until golden and puffed up.
- Making sure you use oven gloves to protect your hands, confidently and very carefully turn the tarte out on to a plate bigger than the pan.
- Dish up with nice round scoops of ice cream, sprinkle over the remaining cinnamon from a height and drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil before serving.
