    1 Hour

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

2 cups tawny Port
1/2 cup (packed) plus 1 tablespoon golden brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 pounds plums (5 to 6 medium), halved, pitted, each half quartered
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 refrigerated pie crust (half of 15-ounce package)
Vanilla ice cream

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Boil Port, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and allspice in large skillet until reduced to 2/3 cup, about 10 minutes. Place plums in large bowl. Sprinkle flour over; toss to coat. Drizzle 1/3 cup syrup over plums; toss to coat. Reserve remaining syrup.

    Step 2

    Unroll cold pie crust onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon plums into center of crust, leaving 1 1/2-inch border; drizzle any remaining syrup from bowl over plums. Fold crust edges over plums. Brush crust with water; sprinkle crust and plums with remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar.

    Step 3

    Bake tart until crust is golden and syrup is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Cut warm or room-temperature tart into wedges. Serve with scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzling additional syrup over.
