My Santa Rosa plum tree has given me dessert! You gotta love summer fruits – so many possibilities! This tart is one of my favorite ways to use our plums but it could easily be made with any stone fruit, including cherries. My plums are of a lighter variety but don’t be shy about using dark ones as the contrast in colors would be even more stunning. Your family and friends will be impressed with this dessert that looks and tastes like it came from a refined French restaurant but is super easy to make. Enjoy!
