Serving Size 6 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet butter puff pastry 10" x 10", chilled
  • 4 black plums, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups saskatoon berries fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat, add half of the sliced plums, all of the saskatoon berries, honey, cinnamon, lemon juice and butter. Stir and simmer until plums start to soften and juices begin to thicken (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F. Unroll puff pastry and line the bottom and edges of a prepared cast iron skillet. Note: you may need to roll out the pastry slightly with a rolling pin beforehand to cover the entire skillet (a little excess over the edges is okay and you can trim off the excess if necessary).
  • Transfer plum and saskatoon mixture into skillet and arrange remaining plums over top.
  • Pull pastry edges up and over the plum layer, pleating as you go along.
  • Using a pastry brush, apply egg wash to the top of the pastry. Sprinkle the whole top with sugar.
  • Bake in centre of oven for 25-30 minutes or until pastry is golden and plums are tender.
  • Let stand 5 minutes and serve with ice cream, if desired.

Notes

Use good quality puff pastry from the freezer section of the supermarket. I like to pull mine out and place it in the refrigerator to use the next day. If you have any leftover pastry, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with a bit of sugar and cinnamon. Bake until golden brown. Let cool for a bit and enjoy!
