Quetschentaart

Quetschentaart (also known as quetscheflued) is a Luxembourgish damson plum tart that is traditionally prepared during autumn, when damson plums are in season. To make the tart base, flour, sugar, butter, salt, and eggs are combined into a firm dough that is then rolled out and tucked snugly into a buttered tart tin before it is finished with slices of fresh damson plums and baked to perfection.

The tart can optionally be dusted with powdered vanilla sugar for extra flavor and a pleasant aroma. A dollop of whipped cream, crème fraîche, or even a scoop of ice cream go perfectly with this sweet fruit tart. Quetschentaart can be bought at almost any pastry shop, bakery, and restaurant in the country, especially during the damson plum season.
