    ROSH HASHANAH GERMAN PLUM PIE


    Source of Recipe


    Aunt Saunny

    MÜRBETEIG CRUST:
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 tbsp sugar
    ½ cup pareve margarine
    1 egg yolk
    Salt
    Brandy

    Mix flour and sugar. Using a food processor or a pastry blender, cut in margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk, a dash of salt, and a dash of brandy to moisten the crust.
    Turn the dough onto a board and knead briefly. (This step is unnecessary with the food processor.)
    Place the dough in the center of a 9-inch pie plate and with your fingers pat it thinly into the bottom and sides. Refrigerate.

    FILLING:
    ¹/3 cup plum jam
    1 tbsp brandy
    2 pounds Italian plums, washed, quartered, and pitted
    ¹/3 cup sugar
    1 tsp cinnamon
    Dash of nutmeg
    1 tsp grated lemon rind

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
    Mix plum jam with a little brandy and spread on the crust. Place the plums around in a circle so that each overlaps the other and they eventually form a spiral into the center.
    Mix the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon rind, and sprinkle over the plums. Bake about 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the plums juicy.
    Variation: You can make this pie with apricots, peaches, or blueberries.
