plum and almond tart

Good recipe but I would make one suggestion. I used an 11" flan tin - blind baked the shortcrust and added the frangipane. There is too much filling which, when cooking, overflowed! I would suggest the recipe be amended to :<br /> <br /> 8.5 oz butter<br /> 8.5 oz caster suger<br /> 10 oz ground almonds<br /> <br /> Recipe also suggests that the filling is poured into the case. Filling much to firm to pour - rather spoon in and level off before adding plums.<br /> <br /> Otherwise - delicious.

I would like to comment upon the Plum upside-down cake and because comments are disabled there I thought that I could post my questions in this related recipe. The Plum upside-down cake is a recipe from Andy Harris that was published in 130+ Autumn recipes and figures as Nr.1 in top 10 recipes of the week. I personally tried this one and I had a big issue on the quantity of butter. My question is: the butter is 65% fat or he uses a less fatter butter? Using 225g of butter made a very greasy cake that doesn't look too inviting. I am sure that I didn't mess anything along the process and my opinion is that 150-175g is quite enough. What do you think?

Caster sugar? Is this anything like brown sugar?

The plum and almond tart is delicious but iI do agree that there is a huge amount of butter. Still, perfect for a treat. Does anyone know if you can freeze it?

This cake is well damn tasty. Just made it the other day and everybody loved it. However, I think there's too much butter in the recipe. You could probably put half of the amount in the shortcrust and about a quarter less in the filling. The choped almonds produce a lot of oil after you chopped them up finley, so that greasy enoough I'd say.
A part from that, this cake is absolutely amazing! :)

Suzanne - pudding rice is a short grain rice that looks a bit like risotto rice (carnaroli or arborio) and absorbs a lot of liquid. You can use risotto rice if you can't find pudding rice.

This plum tart recipe needs flour. There's too much oil from the butter and nuts and nothing to absorb it so it comes out quite greasy. Tastes great, but I've made something similar including some flour and it turned out much better.

Here's the recipe for pastry: Go to the chiller section in the supermarket, buy a packet, and keep it out of the fridge for 20 minutes before rolling. :-)

Annabel: You're not reading it wrong. It worked out lovely for me. I creamed the sugar and butter together in a blender; that might make it easier? It does become a lot more 'fluid' in the end, stick with it as it's well tasty!

This frangipane recipe is a disaster. It makes a really oily soggy sponge. Avoid at all costs or replace filling with a decent recipe.

Am I reading this wrong or is there far too much butter in this recipe? I have just used nearly a pack and there is so much I cant get it to cream with the sugar and you certainly can't pour it!!! What a waste of time!

So happy to have found my favorite plum tart via internet. I am visiting my parents and their plum tree almost collapses under the weight of sweet plums. My Jamie O. books are at home...but now I can get started!

Just been to your site and going to make plum and almond tart sounds good yum..Nora ...

Bonjour,

Merci.

hi everybody
i made this the other night.. absolutely fabulous.. prolly the best rice pudding recipe i've tried in a long time..

I also saw this recipe for Rice Pudding.
It was simmered on the stove for about 20 minutes until thick and creamy and served upon broken up meringues then the jam swirled through the top. He then sprinkled more crumbled meringue on top.

hi everyone
i want to recipe for the strawberry jam jamie made with the rice pudding
help?

I decided to just post it.

Preparation time: 10 min
Cooking time : 0 min

Ingredients


1 vanilla pod
75g / 2 1/2oz pudding rice
600ml / 20 fl oz / 1 pint full fat organic milk
2 knobs unsalted butter
50g / 1 3/4oz caster sugar
1 wide strip of orange zest
Strawberry Jam or Seville orange marmalade


Score down the length of the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds from the inside. Combine the rice, milk, butter, sugar, orange zest, vanilla seeds and vanilla pod in your Tefal saucepan and place on a medium heat.

Cook gently, stirring every now and then, until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

Take off the heat and add a big dollop of jam to the rice pudding before serving with some zested orange sprinkled over the top.

The British answer to risotto - sweet, sticky, creamy and delicious!

I found the Rice Pudding recipe on a Tfal site for Jamie's pots and pans.

Hope the link works - if you just go to the site and look for it.

I have the start of the Rice Pudding recipe but can someone else please complete it for me:

1 Cup Pudding Rice (Short grain)
5 Cups Milk
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon Sugar

Maybe thats it, you just bake!

Hello!
I'm after the elusive rice pudding recipe. It looks simply delicious! Is there any way I could get the details please?
Many thanks

Friends of ours made dinner for us the other night and presented this Tart as dessert. It was completely mouthwatering and totally ruined my intentions of a quarter slice... what a fabulous recipe! I knew I had to have it and am very happy to find it on your website - however, I plan to buy your cookbook next time I'm at a bookshop. Can't think why I don't have a copy already!!!!

Recipe for rice pudding with strawberry syrup on TV this week - has anyone got it??

Could someone e-mail it to me??

Thanx

Hi a friend watched your show and is trying to get the recepie for the Shoulder of Lamb with mint and capper sauce, may i please have it.
Cheers

Made the Fab rice pudding after seeing one of your shows. It didn't taste particularly creamey or vanilla -ey though...is this due to not using a vanilla pod? But also, shouldn't your recipe include some cream, and not all milk?

Also, the lemon drizzle cake didn't turn out when I double the recipe.
Any ideas why?

Also, how about an interview with you on my radio show please?

Adrian

this recipe was great. Our neighbors kept bringing us over buckets of plums and we had heaps of nuts lying around from Christmas so i made this and it is absolutely delicious. It will become one of the desserts we use to show off to guests now. Thanks :)
