Very pretty and tasted great too. I accidently forgot the egg yolks in the pastry, but it still worked out OK. I actually reduced the recipe to 1/3 and made it in a smallist tart pan. It is a little early in the season for plums here in NY, so my plums were quite tart...almost tasted like sour cherries or rhubarb! Also, the recipe does not say where to use the vanilla. I put it in the egg whites.
