Quetschentaart


Quetschentaart, a popular Luxembourg speciality, is a simple open fruit tart with zwetschgen.
In the Ketty Thull recipe, the dough for the shortcrust base consists of flour, butter and sugar only. The base is placed in a tart-baking dish, and covered with halved plums arranged in overlapping circles. It is baked at - for 45-40 minutes or until ready.
In other recipes, the base is made with a yeast dough.
Traditionally, it is a seasonal dish served in the autumn when the zwetschgen are ripe.

It is often served with whipped cream at afternoon coffee.
