Pumpkin Plum TartDitte Isager

A thin layer of plum jam beneath the custard is visually gorgeous—it's a magenta pinstripe just under the pumpkin orange—and provides a surprisingly delicious twist, since the tart plums bring out the best in all the other traditional flavors of pumpkin pie.

Cooks' notes:

· Tart shell can be baked 1 day ahead and kept, wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature. · Tart is best the day it is baked but can be baked 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
