This dessert is a great, simple, rustic way to 'tart up' your weekend.

It has to be the ultimate entertaining tart; easy to make (thanks to the fact there's no crust), a little different (thanks to the use of almond meal and flakes) and it's ability to make use lots of different seasonal fruits like plums, peaches, nectarines, figs or berries.

You must try the tart batter, it is so tasty, so make sure you leave plenty in the bowl after transferring the mixture into the tart tin.

      I made this last night with peaches instead of plums - divine! The batter is unreal! And I may or may not be having some for breakfast right now...
