This is very tasty. The crust is tender and the filling was just right - I used only four purple plums. I did use tapioca instead of cornstarch and dusted with confectionery sugar after it cooled.

Since modified the recipe almost to the point when it becomes a new recipe, I don't know what to do about the star rating. However, I do enjoy the finished product, and so I will give it 5 stars. These are the changes that I made: - used puff pastry as the basis of the tart - its delicate flaky texture complemented the plums perfectly!; - used only plums (3 per tart); - did not use apricot jam; - used a little less than a teaspoon of ginger. In the end, you have light and refreshing (thanks to ginger) dessert that is perfect for tea with friends or as a dessert after a full dinner.

Liked this very much. Unable to tell that cream cheese was used and that made it even better lower calories!

A very nice dessert with a light flaky crust. I added 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon to the sugar mixture. I also sprinkled the finished product with cinnamon sugar as well as the turned up edge. I love the plum/nectarine combination. I found it very easy to cut with a pizza cutter and served it topped with Cool Whip.

Beautiful presentation and a thoroughly enjoyable dessert. I added a handful of fresh blackberries and replaced the plums with two more large nectarines for a total of four. After shaping the upturned edge of the crust, I moistened the dough with a light brush of water and sprinkled the edge with India Tree Sugar Crystals - turbinado sugar would have worked just as well. The final product was quite tasty and downright pretty!
