Ingredients:
• Sift the flour into a blender or food processor, add the ground cinnamon, salt, butter and egg yolk. Process for 30 seconds or until evenly combined.

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.
• Prick the pastry all over with a fork. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Arrange the plums over the cooked pastry, and sprinkle with the sugar. Put back in the oven for 40–45 minutes until the plums are tender.
• To finish, melt the jam in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons water, bring to the boil and bubble for 1 minute. Brush or spoon over the warm tart to glaze.
