    I have made this tart numerous times and except once which I forgot it in the oven and it burnt a bit, it has come out perfectly EVERY single time and I have had countless people asking for the recipe. I use this recipe as is without changing a thing and it is just perfect. I do test the plums before buying them to make sure they have the right amount of tartness for me. Other than that it is a big success and I recommend it completely.

    Amazing dessert!!!! You can't mess this up. I have made it several times and with all kinds of fruit. Always comes out great. I do like to crumble a little extra butter on top before i bake it to make sure the top is not too dry.

    This was surprisingly disappointing from Ina. I love the method,but next time: (1 less flour, (2 a rougher chop for the walnuts (more texture would have been nicer, (3 a little pre-dusting with sugar for the plums, (4 I'm going to layer the plums on their sides and see if that makes the top a little more moist, and (5 add just a little cinnamon & nutmeg to the topping. I think these tweaks will make a big difference.

    Did not like this recipe at all. Yuck. The crust lacked flavor and the plums were soooo tart and i let them macerate in sugar before i used them, so im sure her version without sweetening the plums would have led to even more tart plums. i don't like tart desserts at all unless they are balanced well with sugar which this one was not. i love ina, just not this recipe.

    Very average. Added 1/4 tsp salt to the dough. Needed vanilla. Plums were fairly ripe but tartvstill lacked extra flavor. I recommend making sure you tightly place plums together to maximize flavor. Also a bit too sweet. Overall I love ina's recipes but this one really falls short

    Fabulous and easy to make. I saw Ina make this with regular plums, not the Italian prune variety, and I used those. Came out terrific.

    be very careful if you use apples instead of plums and use a springform pan. The butter can leak out and cause an oven fire.
    otherwise, its delicious. easy. maybe mix a little flour with apples, or use a cookie sheet on the shelf below the tart!!! I recommend cookie sheet.

    This is a perfect dessert. It was so easy and fool-proof to make. I used the Italian plums from my local farmers market. I substituted whole-wheat pastry flour for the white four and it was delicious and, dare I say, healthy.
