making pineapple tarts from scratch

I love pineapple tarts! Specifically, the open-face kind. When I finally got my own place I know I want to try making pineapple tarts from scratch for cny.

Having tried home-made pineapple tarts using store-bought jam I feel like it’s such a pity how sub-par and one dimensional the pineapple jam was compared to the pastry. But I won’t deny it’s so much easier and time-saving!

Other than to slog over the stove stirring for 2 hours, selecting and cutting the pineapples were a challenge T_T as it’s my first time cutting pineapples. I think I spent an hour just to cut the pineapples hahaha.

But when I look at the end results I can’t help but feel proud of what I have made. It’s truly a labour of love.

I used the “Flaky Pineapple Tart Cookies” and “Homemade Pineapple Jam” recipes by iwen baking on Youtube :)
