Serves: 6 people

Preparing time: 00:00

Cooking time: 00:00

Ingredients

425-450g crushed pineapple (or blitz chunks or slices in a food processor) available in tins OR

1 medium ripe fresh pineapple (cut up and blitz in a food processor)

3-4 heaped tbsp sugar

1 stick cinnamon

424g plain flour

340g butter or baking margarine

pinch of salt

2 egg yolks

2 egg whites (beaten)

water

Cooking Method

Step 1

Pineapple Jam: Place the pineapple, sugar and cinnamon stick in a stainless steel pan and bring to the boil.

Step 2

Lower heat and simmer slowly until all the liquid has evaporated and the jam is tacky. Keep stiring to prevent burning, allow to cool.

Step 3

Lower heat and simmer slowly until all the liquid has evaporated and the jam is tacky. Keep stiring to prevent burning, allow to cool.

Step 4

Pastry: Sift flour with salt and rub in the fat. Beat up egg yolks with 2 Tbsp cold water and slowly add to flour whilst stirring the mixture with a metal spoon or table knife.

Step 5

The mixture should bind and you may need to add a little more cold water. Once the mixture sticks together it is ready for use, do not over handle and allow to rest for 20 minutes.

Step 6

Roll out pastry on a floured board to 1/2cm thickness. Cut out discs (approx 3cm in diameter) with a small pastry cutter. Place a nugget of pineapple jam in the centre of the pastry, I prefer to use my fingers as it is easier than using a teaspoon.

Step 7

Place tarts on a baking tray and brush with beaten egg white. Bake in a medium hot oven for approximately 10 minutes or until done.

Step 8

Allow to cool and keep in an airtight tin or jar.
