  I made this tart and it turned out extremely well. However, I found the plums to be quite sour. If I make this again, I will increase the amount of sugar slightly.

  Discovered Greengages in my garden and really wanted to try something new - tart turned out to be very good, I agree that perhaps a little more sugar would make it sweeter and didn't notice enough vanilla so would double quantity of vanilla. Overall a very nice dessert and fairly easy to make!
