Homemade Pineapple Jam For CNY Cookie Pineapple Tart

Homemade Pineapple Jam For CNY Cookie Pineapple Tart

 

Ingredients:
8 pineapples, grated
1 clove
1 cinnamon stick
1 kg sugar

Firstly, peel, grate and remove eyes of all 8 pineapples. Retain the juice (where all the flavor of the pineapples are) and cook over high heat. I used two pots.
Try not stir too often; it will splatter and may burn you. Allow the juice to be reduced before adding the sugar.
!!! Don't add the sugar too early, otherwise there will be more splattering !!!
Once it has been reduced to ~ 20%, add 1000g of sugar. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. When it has become pasty and like a jam, u can stir more often(it won't splatter so much).

Pineapple Tart

Chinese New Year is comming... as usual I'm very busy baking cookies. I had prepared the Pineapple tart jam two weeks ago. This time, the jam sweetness is just right. I used 10 unripe pineapples to 1kg of coarse sugar. My friend came by to learn how to make the pastry, and we tried making some..it came out really good!!

I refer to this recipe.




The recipe we used is the enclosed jam verson.
Pineapple tart
Ingredient :
350g of all purpose flour
350g of cake flour ( I'm using the top flour )
500g of scs butter
100g of caster sugar ( if you are using the ready made jam reduce sugar to 50g, because the jam usually is very sweet)
100g of milk powder
1 whole egg and 2 egg yolks

1 egg for glazing

Method
Place parchment paper on the cookie tray, or use small baking cup. I'm choosing the baking cup it's easier to handle...haha.
Preheated oven at 175C Baking time total is 20 to 30Mins

Let start now...

For the Pastry
Measure and place all the flour, milk powder and sugar into a big mixing bowl. It is better if you sieve them together. If you are using rub in method.. cut the cold butter into smaller cubes and rub it into the flour mixture. Rub in butter till it becomes breadcrumbs like.
Eggs lightly beaten and mix into the flour mixture. Mix well. knead it to a dough. Don't over knead it. Once they are combine is fine. Over knead dough will give you a hard pastry for your tart.

Chill the pastry dough for 10mins

Use 1/2 tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball and press thinly, wrap with 1/2 teaspoon of jam, shape it into a ball.
Put it into the baking cup. Place on the tray. You need sometimes to make all the tart.

When finished shaping all the tarts... now you can bake them. Preheated oven at 175C. Bake the tart for 6 mins first, remove from the oven, brush them with the egg wash. Place its back again and continue baking till golden brown, it take about another 20mins Total baking time is about 25 to 30mins

This recipe is for the enclosed jam version only, don't use this for the open face cookie.
