Pineapple Tarts

The flesh of the pineapple fruit has such a warm cheerful colour that I find pleasure incorporating them in cooking. Not to mention its versatility due to both the sweet and sour character of the fruit. A feast for the eye and palate indeed. The possibilities are endless with the pineapple.

Pineapple tarts are usually "festive" as they show up on practically every celebration here. Be it on Eidul-fitr, Eidul-Adha, Chinese New Year...I even spotted them in friends' house on Deepavali and even Christmas. I don't know why they are so popular...maybe its the buttery crust with the unique pineapple jam taste of both sweet and sour which provides for a rich contrast and flavour.
