Plum walnut and honey tart

We always get so excited for plum season. We love every plum related dessert and my mum makes the best plum marmalade ever, truly. We were thinking about making a plum tart for quite some time now and when we got a large box full of fresh, sweet plums last week we rolled up our sleeves and created this treat. This recipe super easy to make, it doesn't take long and you don't have to be a masterchef to get it right. Walnuts, plums and honey are a match made in heaven. It's a comfort food kind of tart that you share with your friends and family. For an extra kick serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a generous dollop of sour cream. Deliciouuuus.
