1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Vanilla ice cream
Fresh mint sprigs
1. Thaw pastry according to package directions.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
3. Press brown sugar onto the bottom of a 7-inch round pan. Drizzle
with melted butter.
4. Peel, core and slice plums. Place in a bowl, sprinkle with flour and toss.
5. Microwave jam for 40 seconds, stir and mix with the plums.
6. Arrange plums in a close circular pattern on top of the brown sugar.
7. Place the pan on the pastry sheet and outline the shape of the pan with a
knife. Place the pastry circle on top of the plums. Cut several slits in the dough.
