It is Pineapple Tarts Day!

With 1 more week before CNY, I finally started baking my 1st attempt on the Pineapple Tarts. I bought the premix pineapple jam from Phoon Huat. To improve the taste, I recooked the jam with extra lemon juice and candiced orange peel for the extra Hmmph on 2 nights before. Once coolled, I started to roll them into mini balls for the baking on sat. As I do not have the pastry recipe, I googled for the perfect recipe yet not sure how is the final taste. So the trial began to test the recipe. With my helper's help, we managed to make 2 design. Took around 1hour to complete. As usual, I asked Kenneth, my food tester to test and he was very impressed. Approval given to continue... in the end we used up 1 kg of plain flour, 3 butter and 1.8kg of pineapple jam to make 5 boxes.

** Bake the pastry for 10mins first to prevent the pineapple jam to be too dry **

** The final results **

** 5 boxes of Pineapple tarts after 4 hours **
