For the pastry:

100g (3½ oz) dairy-free spread
200g (7oz) gluten-free plain white flour
½ level tsp ground cinnamon

For the filling:

2 level tbsps cornflour
2 level tbsps Fruisana fruit sugar
10 plums, quartered and stoned
3tbsps low-sugar apricot jam, to glaze

Method

To make the pastry: Rub the spread into the flour and cinnamon to breadcrumb stage. Add 4tbsps cold water and mix to a dough. Shape into a flat round, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Set the oven to moderate, 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4).
Unwrap the dough and put it on to a lightly greased baking sheet. Roll it out or press it out with your fist to a round, about 28cm (11in) in diameter. Push up the pastry edge and crimp it roughly with your fingers.
To make the filling: Mix the cornflour with half the fruit sugar and sprinkle inside the tart. Place the plum quarters on top and sprinkle with the rest of the fruit sugar.
Place the tart near the bottom of the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Although it may not look cooked, don't be tempted to bake the tart any further because the pastry will become tough.
Sieve the jam and heat in the microwave or a small saucepan. Brush the plums with the hot jam, to glaze.
