Grilled Plum Tart

from Great Canadian Pies
Pamela Steel
Great Canadian Pies celebrates the Canadian pie in all its glorious home-baked incarnations, with regional favourites and secret tips from coast to coast."All the wisdom of the best Grandma, delivered in the voice of a cheerful and trusted friend. Pie lovers should jump right in with great confidence and a large appetite." Regan Daley, author of In the Sweet Kitchen. $24.95.

Since summertime fun doesn't usually involve baking indoors, this tart was devised for the barbecue.

7 1/2 inch (19 cm) nutted tart shell (see page 32)
6 plums, pitted and halved
3 tbsp (45 mL) golden cane or corn syrup
1 cup (250 mL) deli style or fresh cream cheese
1 tbsp (15 mL) plum preserves

Prepare tart shell, as directed.

Place plums, skin side down, on the grill over medium heat for 5 minutes or until they are hot through.

Place syrup in a container over the grill to warm.

Combine cream cheese and preserves and spread over tart shell.

Place plums, rounded side up, in concentric circles to cover tart.

Drizzle with warm syrup and serve immediately.
