I made this a few weeks ago and both jwa and I really loved it! My friend Vanessa got me some marzipan (no, not this marzipan), while she and her husband were in Norway and now I am looking for marzipany things to do.

I saw this recipe and literally made it the next day. I think my tart pan is 9 inches though. I had too many plums. And too much crumble. Not a big deal. There are many worse things to have extras of — toes, pets, bad habits, etc… Anyway, I used pastry dough from the Dorie Greenspan book — the extra dough from my blueberry pie in fact. Defrosted, rolled out and ready to go!
