This traditional tarte from Lorraine is made with delicious yellow and red-dotted mirabelle plums (the symbol of Lorraine) grown only in this region and in parts of Alsace. With Mirabelles being impossible to import to other countries, this tart is a prized delicacy when visiting Lorraine in the short period—in between August and September—when these plums are in season.
