Pineapple tart...FINALLY!

I know I'm too late in the game....but hey, better late than never (especially when it comes to pineapple tarts!).

So my pineapple jam was sitting in the fridge for the entire week...and I finally found time to make the tart pastry today and put everything together.

I prefer the enclosed pineapple tarts...and normally, I'd use a pair of small scissors to make tiny cuts on the pastry to make the tart resemble a pineapple....but since I did not have a pair of small scissors....I just went with the simple smooth surface enclosed tarts and then egg washed them before baking for a shiny look.

I had some problems with the tart pastry (too flaky) as I had to substitute a few ingredients that I didn't have....but it all worked out well in the end. The pastry although more dry and flaky...tasted pretty good - buttery like danish cookies but much softer in texture.

Well...here they are....all lined up and ready to be popped into our mouths!

Ok, I must say that it was worth it spending two hours to make my own pineapple jam....it definitely tastes much better than store bought ones (even when the pineapple I used was out of a can)!
