Damson tart with plum zabaglione

When plums are in season this simple, no frills tart makes for an easy dessert. You could make it with a mixture of damsons, greengages or even normal-sized plums like Victoria. When making this I had a bottle of plum spirit — a sort of local grappa — knocking around in my cupboard from a trip to Transylvania, which I used to whip up a zabaglione in keeping with the plum theme.
