Servings: persons

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra to dust
1/2 cup butter or margerine
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 None egg yolk + 1 whole egg
1 lb marzipan
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 lb plums, pitted and sliced
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp blackcurrant cordial
2-3 tbsp cornstarch, mixed with 4 tbsp water to form a slurry
1 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted

1
For the tart shell, mix the flour, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and egg yolk together then knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
2
Preheat the oven to 325u00b0F. Grease a 10 inch tart pan with butter. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface into a 10 inch circle then use to line the tart pan and prick several times with a fork.
3
For the filling, knead together the marzipan, whole egg and 1/3 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a fluted tip and pipe rosettes over the base of the tart shell. Bake for 20-25 mins, until golden. Cover the marzipan with foil if it becomes too dark. Remove the tart from the oven and set aside to cool.
4
Bring the plums, lemon juice, blackcurrant cordial, remaining sugar and 2/3 cup water to a boil then simmer for 2-3 mins. Add the cornstarch slurry and simmer, stirring, until the mixture becomes very thick. Pour over the marzipan then chill for 1 hour, until the tart has set. Serve sprinkled with toasted almonds.
