The recipe for this tart I found in my first Portuguese cookbook which I bought at a book fair while visiting the island of Fail. I love fruit desserts! My great grandfather who immigrated from Faial was a peach, plum and pear farmer in northern California. This recipe was included in a book titled traditional Portuguese desserts but after visiting the country and talking to experts it is more likely a more recent and regional dish. Regardless of how traditional or common it is it is absolutely delicious and easy to prepare
