Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200*C (400*F).
- Melt the butter in a 28 cm tart tin over a medium heat.
- Tip in the sugar and 1 TBS water and cook for a few minutes, stirring all the time until lightly browned.
- If it looks slightly crumbly at this stage don't be put off, it will right itself in the oven.
- Remove from the heat and put the plums in, cut side up.
- Chop the marzipan into as many chuncks as tehre are plum halves and put a chunk of marzipan in the hole in each plum left by the stone.
- Sprinkle a small pile of ground almonds over each plum half.
- Roll out the pastry and trim to 3 cm larger than the tin all around.
- Lift the pastry on to the tin and tuck it down between the plums and the inside of the tin.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the pastry is risen, crisp and golden.
- Cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then place a large flat plate with a rim over the tin.
- Holding it over the sink, incase of drips, carefully invert the tart onto the plate.
- Some juice from the plums is likely to escape, but it's delicious, especially when mingled with pouring cream.
