PLUM AND CRYSTALLIZED GINGER GALETTE

Steps:

• For the crust: Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and process to blend. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons of the cold cream and pulse until the dough comes together in a ball. Add some or all of the remaining tablespoon of cream if the dough is still quite crumbly; it should hold together in a ball when you squeeze it. Place a large piece of plastic wrap on the counter, gather the dough into a ball and flatten the dough into a disk on the plastic wrap. Wrap well. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a large sheet of parchment paper on a work surface and lightly flour the parchment. Place the dough on the paper, lightly flour the top and roll out into a round or oval about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the paper to a rimmed baking sheet.
• For the filling: Toss the plums with the crystallized ginger, flour, cinnamon and 4 tablespoons of the sugar in a large bowl. Arrange the plums in concentric circles on the center of the dough circle, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border of dough all around. Sprinkle the blueberries and any lingering pieces of ginger over and in between the plums. Fold the border in over the fruit. Distribute the butter pieces over the filling and sprinkle the border with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
• Bake until the crust is nicely browned and the fruit filling is soft and bubbling a bit, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Warm the preserves in the microwave and gently brush the hot galette with the preserves, both the top of the crust edges and the fruit in the middle. Transfer the parchment paper with the galette to a wire rack and let the galette cool to room temperature. Transfer to a plate and serve with whipped cream if desired.

PLUM TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, walnuts, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the butter and the egg yolk. Mix, either by hand or with an electric mixer, until crumbly.
• Press 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture in an even layer into the bottom of a 9 1/2-inch springform or tart pan. Arrange the plums in the pan, skin side down, to form a flower pattern; begin at the outside and work your way in.
• Sprinkle the rest of the crumb mixture evenly over the plums. Bake the tart for 40 to 50 minutes, or until it's lightly browned and the plum juices are bubbling. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and transfer the tart to a flat plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PLUM & GINGER TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix together the breadcrumbs, sugar, ginger and egg white. Roll out the pastry and cut into a 35cm round. Transfer to a large baking sheet, then use a fork to spread the crumb paste over the centre of the pastry to within 7cm of the edges. Cover with the plums, cut-sides up, and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar.
• Flip the pastry over the plums to create an edge, pleating or pinching it together with your fingers to keep in place. Bake for 20-25 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden. Cool for 5 mins on the baking sheet, then slide onto a large, flat serving plate or board. Serve warm cut into wedges with clotted cream or ice cream.

PLUM TART WITH GINGER CRUST

Steps:

• Prepare the crust: Place the butter in a food processor and process a few seconds until creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla and process until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 20 seconds, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl once or twice.
• Combine the four, ground gingersnaps, ginger, and salt in a small bowl and add them to the food processor. Process until the dough comes together around the sides of the bowl, then scrape the sides of the bowl and process for a few extra seconds.
• With lightly floured hands, press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a loose-bottom 9-inch tart pan, pressing particularly around the bottom edge of the pan with your fingers, making sure that the dough is not too thick.
• Trim off any excess dough at the top of the tart pan with a knife, then lightly press the dough around the inside of the rim with your thumb so it extends about 1/8 inch above the pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork, then chill the prepared pan, covered with plastic wrap, in the freezer for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Prepare the filling: Place the quartered plums in a bowl with the sugar, ginger, and cinamon. Toss well and set aside.
• Bake the chilled or frozen tart shell until golden brown,25 minutes. Cool completely, in the pan, on a wire rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
• Brush half the jelly all over the inside of the cooled tart shell. Arrange the plums decoratively in the tart shell, skin side up, starting at the outside rim and working toward the center.The plums should overlap slightly. Brush them all over with the remaining jelly.
• Place the tart on a baking sheet.Cover the rim of the tart shell with aluminum foil to prevent the crust from overbrowning, then bake the tart until the plums are tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a rack to room temperature or until slightly warm, then remove the sides of the pan, place the tart on a serving plate and serve.

RUSTIC GINGER PLUM TART

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and butter in a large bowl. Using a bench scraper or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the butter is pea-sized. Slowly add the ice water, folding it into the flour until a dough comes together, being mindful not to overwork it. (If the dough is too dry, add another tablespoon of ice water at a time.) Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out into a 1/8-inch-thick circle. Then roll it up onto the rolling pin and gently lay it out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• For the filling: In the center of the rolled out dough, add the plums and sprinkle them with the brown sugar, ginger, vanilla, lemon juice, salt, flour and butter. Fold the edges of the dough over to create a rough border; it doesn¿t have to be perfect, just good enough to form a wall. Brush the edges with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Bake until the filling is bubbling and thickened, and the crust is golden brown, 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

LEMON-GINGER TART

Steps:

• Make the crust: Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Whisk together flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle in melted butter and, using a spatula, mix until it's well combined (it'll have a sort of Play-Doh texture). Press this into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan (or you can use a 9-inch springform pan, going about an inch up the sides), using a measuring cup to flatten and make sure it's all even.
• Bake the tart shell until it's a pale golden brown on the edges and baked through on the bottom (it will lose that greasy shine), 15 to 20 minutes.
• Make the filling and assemble: In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, sugar, egg yolks, egg, flour, ginger, turmeric and salt. Make sure no lumps remain, but be careful not to overmix. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to make sure no bits of flour or egg are left behind. Add lemon slices, if using, and stir to coat. Set the lemon slices aside.
• Transfer filling to the crust (depending on the depth of your pan, you may have a few tablespoons left over). Lay reserved lemon slices across the top. Bake until the edges are set and the center no longer jiggles, but does not look dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.

GINGERY PLUM CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the base of a 23cm square cake tin with baking parchment. Butter the paper generously and sprinkle with the demerara sugar. Halve the plums and arrange in the base of the tin in 1 layer, cut-sides down.
• For the cake, melt the butter, muscovado sugar and syrup in a large pan over a low heat, stirring until smooth. Cool for 10 mins, then stir in the eggs and milk. Sift in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices, then mix to a smooth batter.
• Pour the batter into the tin, over the plums, and bake for 45-55 mins until firm to the touch. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool. Will keep in the fridge, wrapped in baking parchment and foil, for up to 5 days.

PLUM TART
