Sour Cream Tart with Santa Rosa Plum Compote

 
You had me at Santa Rosa plum, my favourite variety.  You had Shane at sour cream, one of his favourite things period.  This tart was made to follow a very heavy gut-busting bbq dinner we had with friends.  Surprisingly, it was much lighter than I thought it would be.  The tart itself was nutty and crisp and the filling light, creamy and slightly sweet.  This contrasted with a tart cinnamon and vanilla spiced plum compote.  Together there was magic.

 Baking notes:
-Don't be turned off by the sour cream in the title, it lightens the filling and totally belongs with the plums.
-The tart crust was very easy to throw together and didn't shrink at all.  Love!
-The plum compote was a little fall-inspired, but I didn't mind too much.
