The bake-off

Chinese New Year is around the corner! And I miss my mum n her cooking! =( 

Feeling sad that this place is still quite messy and little improvement don't seems to matter as the de-provement are more apparent. *sigh*

Anyhow, because i missed my mum's cooking, plus cny is coming plus this church friend of mine who started my temptation on pineapple tarts, I decided to make my own too!
But guess what! Mum is uncontainable in Malaysia. >_<. There goes my recipe. 

However, I stumble across a blog on Sunday, which featured a pineapple tart recipe! Melt in your mouth pineapple balls. =D 

So here it is!

Bought this big baby from the supermarket for $5. Weigh about 1.7kg.


After skinning and de-core, left only 700g. 
Put it through the blender to mash it up. Then sieve out the water from the pulp.


Measure the sugar for the paste.


Cook the pulp on the left, heat up the juice from the pineapple.


Mix sugar, and after cooking for 1 hr.... Here it is!


Mixing the short crust dough. Oh my, lots of butter!


The making stage: weigh n roll the cooled pulp into balls.
Does the same of the dough.


Combine and here you have it! Ready to bake.


Freshly out of the oven!

One mouth full. Yum!



Still miss the times making the pineapple tarts with mum. Sad that no one helped me when I make it. They only know how to 'siam' (disappear) and eat.
