Plum Good Pie
unbaked pastry for 1 crust pie
2 cups (3/4 lb) sliced and pitted plums, unpeeled
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Custard:
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup (8 oz) plain yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of numeg
pinch of cinnamon
3/4 cup honey
Optional: 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
Preheat oven to 425.
Add walnuts to sliced plums and spread in pastry lined pie pan.
Beat custard ingredients together well. Pour over plums in pie shell.
Place pie in center of preheated oven and immediately lower heat to 375.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a stainless steel knife inserted one inch from edge comes out clean. Pastry edges should be golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack.
Serve warm and top with a very light sifting of powdered sugar just before serving.
Notes: Preferred plums are Italian prune for tart flavor and bright color.
Damsons or greengages may also be used with success.
To easily measure honey, oil measuring cup before using.
