Project Pineapple tarts II


Yipee!! This set of pineapple tarts are much better, with the moist pineapple and the melt-in-your-mouth crust. I am getting the hang of it! Actually it was because I have been reading up on how to bake the perfect tarts. Click HERE for the link I found, it is a really useful step-by-step protocol!

The trick to great jam was to only add the sugar to the pineapple bits when it is almost cooked. Adding the sugar too early may result in burnt pineapple jam. The other tip I picked up was to bake the cookie first without the pineapple jam so that the latter will not be dried out in the oven.

These tarts would surely not last long. Last I counted there was 31 for the Husby, and right now I think there is only half left... But yay! I am glad that I can finally get decent pineapple tarts! :D
