Notes
- Roll the pineapple filling a day before so that it will be easier and faster to assemble the pineapple tarts.
- The pastry dough should be a soft dough. It should not be too dry or too wet.
- Make sure the dough fully wraps the pineapple filling. During baking the dough will expand and if there isn’t enough dough to seal them together, the jam will be left directly exposed during baking. (Dough will crack after baking)
- To store pineapple tarts, first ensure they have fully cooled to room temperature before keeping them in airtight containers. This will avoid mould from forming. If stored properly, the tarts can last for about 1 1/2 months. If refrigerated, shelf life can be extended up to 3 months. However, it is advised not to keep too long for freshness and taste.
- The pineapple tart mould is easily available in baking supply stores. Choose the mould that has a jagged pattern for this recipe. (Moulds usually come in 2 sizes – for bigger mould, use 8g pineapple jam, for the smaller mould, use 4g jam).
