Alternatively, if you need it to hold a bit longer, put it in the freezer overnight, bring out and add toppings and you’ll give yourself an extra hour or so (whilst you drive to a friends, tart teetering on the seat beside you). Once you’ve made it, pop in the fridge overnight, and top with the plums and vanilla nectar just before serving. ![]() Prune juice (prunes soaked in hot water) can be given to young babies, and later when they’re eating solids, the prunes themselves.Īs with all my raw desserts, this cheesecake is best eaten straight out of the fridge. In their dried form, plums are called prunes, and in this concentrated version are an even better natural laxative should you need help in the regularity department.

And so the blueberry tart idea quickly turned into this beautiful juicy plum tart instead. A handful of mosquito bites and plum juice t-shirt splats later, my partner and I had an overflowing bag full of the most delicious smelling, sweet and aromatic, juicy plums in hand. I think I literally ate about 15 plums off the grassy ground that had been flicked off by a whip of wind or taste-testing bird. On this particular visit, after filling my basket with the usual spread of crazy odd bod greenery, herbs and seasonal oddities, we stumbled upon a ginormous plum tree in the corner, literally heaving with ripe fruit.
