Place half a plum on top of each base, cut side down. Don’t bother peeling it as the skin will come away in the oven

Bake for 40 minutes then remove the plum skins and ease the tarts out of the tin with a fork. The plums will have reduced down and mixed with the sugar to form jam with a very soft fruit on top
