Summary
I CAN NEVER DECIDE WHAT I LIKE BETTER about this Alsatian and southern-German tart: the quetsches(similar to Italian blue plums, which are available for a short time in the fall) or the butter crust (called a sablé in French and Mürbeteig in German). On a recent trip to France, I learned a trick for making it: if you bake the tart with no sugar over the fruit, you won't get a soggy crust. Just sprinkle on a small amount of sugar after baking. Italian blue plums are only available in the early fall, so I tend to serve this tart at Rosh Hashanah.
