CNY pineapple tart

Shud have blogged this long ago..haha..but too malasted..since got ppl complain no update, so..

Sempena CNY i baked some pineapple tart for some CNY mood...(with the help of my housemate..)

The night b4 make the isi first..

Ingredients

1) 4 cans 20 ozs pineapple crushed/chunks(drain and pulse in food processor until fine)

2) sugar (amount of sugar should be equal to the pineapple pulp e.g. 1 cup pineapple pulp to 1 cup sugar. 3/4 cup of sugar will be acceptable as the canned pineapples do tend to be sweeter than fresh ones)

3) 1 tbsp of lime/lemon juice

4) 2 sticks of cinnamon bark (I din put)

5) 6 cloves(I din put)

6) 1 segment of star anise (din put also)

Method:

Put all the ingredients in a big round pyrex bowl and microwave on high. Start with 15 mins, stir well, high for another 15 mins x 2. If jam is still runny, microwave at 1 min at a time until it is thick but still wet. It will thicken and dry out when it is cooled. If jam has gone too dry, just add enough water, stir well to dilute. Jam for filling should not be too dry as it will dry further when the tarts are baking. (The timing in the microwave is for making 4 cans of pineapples, so if you intend to try making with one can only, then the time taken in the microwave should be very much shorter)

Then make the pastry...when u r ready to make..
