Plum pie (thelemmy.club)

Despite pre-cooking the plums with butter and sugar, they were still a bit too sour.

Am I correctly feeling that you guys are not used to fruit pies without crust on top? It's how they are done in France.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 10 months ago

We do have pies like that in America at least. I think it's just the circles of fruit look like pepperoni slices in this image so it really does look like a slice of pizza lol

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

Also it seems thin like pizza.

[-] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 5 points 10 months ago

The general flatness of it also reminds me of pizza. And the plum slices look like papa roni. I'd eat 12 of them in one sitting tho.

I didn't know that was a used name, I would just call this fruit pie or fruit tarte.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Almost looks like a quiche

[-] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 10 months ago

It does have similarities, same kind of crust and egg flan.

[-] wieson@feddit.org 3 points 10 months ago

I love this kind of pie. We do it very similarly in Germany.

[-] troglodyte_mignon@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It’s my favorite type of pie, and I didn’t know that it was done in Germany too! What is it called in German ?

Plums are called "Pflaumen", but the longer oval plums are called "Zwetschgen".

So this would be called "Pflaumenkuchen" or "Zwetschgenkuchen" or in my dialect "Quetschekuuche" ^^

Edit: j'ai recherché une recette et c'est un peux different que tus fotos. Normalement on fait ça avec une pâte levée, il y a versions avec une pâte brisée et des crumbles.

Thank you, I’ll give it a try if I see one when I travel to Germany again.

C’est marrant, il y a une variété de prune qu’on appelle quetsche en français, mais je n’avais jamais réalisé que le mot venait de l’allemand ! Mais vu l’orthographe avec le “sch”, je ne suis pas surprise en fait. :-) C’est une prune dont la peau est violette et l’intérieur orange. Which region is your dialect from?

[-] wieson@feddit.org 1 points 10 months ago

That's really funny xD

I'm from Rhineland-palatinate, the region called Western Forest.

We also have Quetsche in France but it is one specific variety of longer oval plums that tipical of Alsace and Lorraine. Manteau of people doesn't make a difference though. They would call any purple plum of this shape "quetsche" but that is not that.

Plums are to be placed standing upright, to maximize plums/m^2^ .

[-] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 10 months ago

I do that with strawberries, but those plums were too sour anyways.

[-] Takapapatapaka@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 2 points 10 months ago

Looks amazing ! Did the sugar in the custard/goumeau balanced the sourness of the plums ? In my family, we typically put a lot of sugar for plums and rhubarb pies, and in the end, the sourness is outweighed by the sugar.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 10 months ago

I actually tend to put way less sugar than recommended by recipes, 30 to 50% less, but those definitely plums needed more. It's hard to find good and affordable fruits in Japan compared to my habits from France, where summer fruits like plums don't need to be topped with sugar at all.

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Woah. That was a wild title misread...

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago

Why do you perforate the crust with a fork?

[-] Takapapatapaka@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 3 points 10 months ago

I guess it's to avoid bubbles forming under the crust, which would make the pie unevenly baked.
