| 1 | pounds | Ripe plums |
| 1 | teaspoon | Kirsch, framboise, or vanilla extract |
| 7 | tablespoons | Sugar |

Directions
Roll out the dough as directed for the desired tart size. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and refrigerate while you prepare the plums.
Slice the plums in half through the stem and remove the pits. Slice each half into ¼-inch slices. You should have about 3 C of fruit.
Place the plums in a bowl and toss with the kirsch and 6 T of sugar.
Set mixture aside.
In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of flour with the remaining sugar.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and sprinkle the flour-sugar mixture over the dough, leaving a border uncovered as directed above.
Arrange the plum slices evenly over the flour-sugar mixture. Fold the rim of dough over the plums, crimping the seams lightly with moistened fingers. Shave the butter on top of the plums.
Bake the tart in a preheated 400'F oven as directed above.
