I made pineapple tarts. There's a story to them. I bought a whole pineapple, but of course only eat a little bit every day for a few days, then that's enough for me. My son loves it, but it burns his mouth (though he can have canned, and cooked), and husband doesn't like it at all.
So I googled recipes for pineapple jam, and it was hard to find a recipe which didn't use other fruits with it and/or used fresh pineapple. Finally found one, it was for pineapple tarts meant to be for Chinese new year - and they were filled cookies, not really tarts.
Made the jam yesterday, and it turned out great.
Today, made the pastry - and wow, it's so rich that there was no way I could flatten a piece into a round to add the filling, and press the edges up.
I ended up making 24 tart shells instead, put in a bit of coconut, then added the pineapple jam before baking.
Wowsers, they are absolutely awesome! I already had two, lol!
