ingredients
- 1 (9 inch) pie crust
- 13 plums, halved, pits removed and thinly sliced on a mandolin
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup apricot marmalade

Step 1
Roll out your shortcrust pastry and line your tart pan (use one with a removable bottom) then leave in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 340ºF. Mix the plum slices with lemon juice.
Step 3
Blind bake tart crust for 20-30 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let chill for 5 minutes, then brush with egg wash. Spread marmalade into bottom of the crust.

Reduce oven to 265ºF. Fold each round plum slice in quarters, then arrange on top of marmalade, standing up each until tart shell is filled. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
