Authentic Denbighshire Plum Tart

Prepare a shortcrust pastry base. Mix butter, sugar, eggs, and ground almonds to make a rich frangipane cream, seasoned with cinnamon.

Spread the cream over the base.

Halve fresh Denbigh plums and stones removed, placing them cut-side up on the almond cream.

Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 35-40 minutes until the plums are jammy and the cream is golden.

A celebration of the famous Denbigh plum orchards.
