For the crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter or 1/2 cup pareve margarine, cut in 8 pieces
1 egg yolk
For the filling
3 tablespoons plum jam
1 tablespoon brandy
2 lbs Italian plums

1
To make the crust, pulse the flour, sugar, and butter or margarine together in a food processor until crumbled. Then add the egg yolk and pulse until the dough comes together.
2
Place the dough in the center of a 9-inch pie plate and with your fingers, dusted with flour if needed, pat it out to cover the bottom and up the side. Refrigerate for a half hour.
3
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and pre bake the crust for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven to 375 degrees and bake another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.

Mix the jam with the brandy in a small bowl and spread over the crust. Peel, pit and cut the plums in four pieces each. Place around in a circle so that each piece of plum overlaps the other and they eventually form a spiral into the center.
5
Sprinkle with the cinnamon and lemon rind.
