How about fresh homegrown apricots? We have two trees so loaded with fruit this Summer that some branches are in danger of breaking. This is an important happening here at 7,250 ft elevation as we usually get a killing frost that takes away any chance of fruit! I will certainly make a galette with apricots as soon as enough of them have ripened. It's agony waiting for them!
This looks delicious! My plum tree is just brimming with fruit at the moment, but I am a little worried that the fresh fruit will give off too much liquid – especially with the added alcohol. Do you use a binder with fresh plums?
Marsha, I also make these croustades with very juicy peaches, figs, or other ripe fruit. No binder needed as it is just a thin layer of fruit between the pastry and any juices bubble through the holes. Have fun!
Lovely video conveys your approach, personality, landscape, ambiance and terroir oh so well!
We call them Zwetschgen in Germany but they are almost impossible to get here in California. I love your tart.

Lovely to be swept away back into the market and kitchen scenes of life at Camont through your words. X

Sadly our plum trees got black blight we replanted them last year no plums yet
I just got some from the flea market I will try my hand to make this pie, since I have your recipe for rough cut puff pastry
Beautiful!
So tempted by the pruneaux pastry but great plums are oddly in short supply in Maine. time to plant another fruit tree, I think.
