Plum Tart

Peel five dozen black plums and arrange in a tart-dish in layers, sprinkling over each layer with a little caster-sugar; the stones are not to be removed. Make a border of short paste round the rim of the dish and cover it with a flat of the paste. Ornament the tart, brush it over with a little water and sprinkle it over with some caster-sugar. Put in a moderate oven and bake.
