Plum-Almond Croustade
Use slightly firm fruit for this rustic tart. Plums are not freestone fruits, which means the flesh does not separate easily from the pit. To make uniform slices, cut off the flesh in halves, positioning the knife close to either side of the pit, then cut the halves into wedges. You can substitute Pluots or Apriums, if desired.
