PLUM & MARZIPAN TART TATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Melt the butter in a 28cm tart tatin tin over a medium heat on the hob. Tip in the sugar and 1 tbsp water and cook for a few minutes, stirring all the time until lightly browned. If it looks slightly crumbly at this stage don't be put off, it will right itself in the oven. Remove from the heat and put in the plums, cut side up.
• Chop the marzipan into as many chunks as there are plum halves and put a chunk of marzipan in the hole in each plum left by the stone. Sprinkle a small pile of ground almonds over each plum half.
• Roll out the pastry and trim to 3cm larger than the tin all round. Lift the pastry on to the tin and tuck it down between the plums and the inside of the tin. (You can chill the tart ready for baking for up to 24 hours.) Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the pastry is risen, crisp and golden. Cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then place a large flat plate with a rim over the tin. Holding it over the sink in case of drips, carefully invert the tart on to the plate. Some juice from the plums is likely to escape, which is why you need a rim on the plate, but it's delicious, especially when mingled with pouring cream.

PLUM TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• To make the pastry, put the flour in a food processor with 125g (4oz) butter, cut into small cubes, and 25g (1oz) caster sugar. Pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs, then add 2-3tbsp cold water and pulse until the mixture begins to form a ball. Wrap and chill for 30min.
• Melt the remaining butter and sugar in a heavy-based frying pan. Cook, stirring, for 2-3min until the sugar begins to turn light brown. Immediately add the halved and stoned plums and cook for 5min or until the juices begin to run and the plums start to soften. During this time incorporate the plum juices into the sugar mixture. Increase the heat and bubble until the juices are very syrupy. Lift the plums out of the pan into a 23cm (9in) diameter, shallow ovenproof dish or cake tin, cut-side up, and pour the juice over. Allow to cool.
• On a lightly floured work surface roll the pastry into a circle slightly larger than the dish and about 5mm (1⁄4in) thick. Lay the pastry over the plums, tuck the edges down into the dish and make a few slits through the pastry with a knife to allow steam to escape. Chill for 20min.
• Bake at 220°C (425°F) mark 7 for 20min or until the pastry is golden. Cool for 5min before carefully inverting on to a plate. Serve sliced with a sorbet.

• Melt butter in heavy ovenproof 9-inch-diameter skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle remaining 2/3 cup sugar evenly over melted butter. Tightly arrange plums, cut side up, in concentric circles in skillet (plums will appear slightly uneven but will soften while cooking, creating even layer). Drizzle accumulated juices from bowl over top. Cook over medium heat, shaking skillet gently to prevent sticking. Continue cooking until syrup turns deep red, pressing plums slightly to form compact layer, about 35 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; cool 10 minutes.
• Slide crust atop plums in skillet. Press crust edges down around plums at edge of skillet. Cut several slits to allow steam to escape. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool tart completely in skillet.

Using oven mitts, hold skillet and platter together and invert, allowing tart to settle onto platter. Slowly lift off skillet. Let stand at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours at room temperature. Serve with orange crème fraîche.

If top begins to brown too much before fruit is cooked through, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil.
