Plum Pie

"Plum pie recipe: a dessert made with dried plums, walnuts and phyllo. Who needs baklava, when you can make something even better? I first tried this plum pie at a well known Sarajevo restaurant last year. Now, I’m a chocolate and caramel kind of girl. Not big on Balkan desserts at all. I eat my mom’s baklava, but only because hers is the best I’ve ever tasted. And one day she won’t be here to make it anymore. But to avoid hurting the owner’s feelings, I tried this plum pie. Plus she mentioned it was a family recipe. And I don’t know what it is, but when someone says “family recipe” I am immediately drawn, the way some people are attracted by the mention of a word “secret.” "
