Pineapple Tarts

Making pineapple tarts is a lot of work and I told myself that I would not bake it this year. But somehow when I got into the mood of festive baking, my hands got itchy and I couldn't help myself but just have to bake some of these since my children and hubby love it.

I modified and incorporated a few recipes that I have to come up with this recipe. The pineapple jam is a mixture of 1 packet of ready made jam as well as 2 fresh pineapples.

Ingredients for Jam

1 packet ready made pineapple jam
2 fresh pineapples
200g sugar

Grate pineapple and separate juice from grated pineapple.
Cook pineapple over low fire for about 45 minutes.
Mix in ready made jam and add sugar. Adjust sweetness accordingly. Stir well.

Ingredients for Pastry

250g butter
50g icing sugar
400g plain flour
2 Tbsp corn flour]
2 Tbsp milk powder
1 egg and 1 egg yolk
3/4 tsp salt

1. Sift dry ingredients.
2. Add in butter, sugar and eggs. Mix well.
3. Brush with egg wash--egg yolk and 1 Tbsp of water.
4. Top each tart with jam.
