Plum pie
Plum pie
Despite pre-cooking the plums with butter and sugar, they were still a bit too sour.

Almost looks like a quiche
-
It does have similarities, same kind of crust and egg flan.

I love this kind of pie. We do it very similarly in Germany.
-
It’s my favorite type of pie, and I didn’t know that it was done in Germany too! What is it called in German ?
-
Plums are called "Pflaumen", but the longer oval plums are called "Zwetschgen".
So this would be called "Pflaumenkuchen" or "Zwetschgenkuchen" or in my dialect "Quetschekuuche"
Edit: j'ai recherché une recette et c'est un peux different que tus fotos. Normalement on fait ça avec une pâte levée, il y a versions avec une pâte brisée et des crumbles.

Looks amazing ! Did the sugar in the custard/goumeau balanced the sourness of the plums ? In my family, we typically put a lot of sugar for plums and rhubarb pies, and in the end, the sourness is outweighed by the sugar.
-
I actually tend to put way less sugar than recommended by recipes, 30 to 50% less, but those plums definitely needed more. It's hard to find good and affordable fruits in Japan compared to my habits from France, where summer fruits like plums don't need to be topped with sugar at all. I think it is the first time I have had to sprinkle more sugar on top of my pie at the end to balance the sourness.

Why do you perforate the crust with a fork?
-
I guess it's to avoid bubbles forming under the crust, which would make the pie unevenly baked.
-
Yes, to avoid bubbles by letting the steam escape more easily, but mostly so the crust stays flat.

Woah. That was a wild title misread...
-
Plums are to be placed standing upright, to maximize plums/m2 .
-
I do that with strawberries, but those plums were too sour anyways.

Mmmmmm...plum pizza.
Am I correctly feeling that you guys are not used to fruit pies without crust on top? It's how they are done in France.
We do have pies like that in America at least. I think it's just the circles of fruit look like pepperoni slices in this image so it really does look like a slice of pizza lol
The general flatness of it also reminds me of pizza. And the plum slices look like papa roni. I'd eat 12 of them in one sitting tho.
fruit pizza!!
