Yotam Ottolenghi’s recipe for spiced plum and marzipan tart

A tart alternative to traditional Christmas pudding

Pudding at Christmas doesn’t actually need to be Christmas pudding. It feels right, though, to pinch or borrow from the best bits of other festive fare. The marzipan, orange and spices from the Christmas cake; the redcurrant jelly from the roast; the sherry from whoever’s cracking on. This is my kind of dessert: alternative but traditional at the same time.
