Nyonya Pineapple Tarts
Nyonya Pineapple Tarts
1. Amount of sugar is for guidance only. Please adjust this amount according to size and sweetness of your
pineapples.
2. I did not add cinnamon and star arise into my pineapple jam, because of their strong smell. However, jam
of traditional Nyonya style pineapple tarts does have these spices.
3. For the preparation of pineapple jam, what I did was cook the jam a day before I wanted to make the tarts.
Set the jam aside to cool and then refrigerated the jam overnight. I found the jam was much easier to handle
and roll (not too sticky) the next day.
4. For the flowery patterned pineapple tarts, my experience told me that if I placed the jam in the beginning
instead of half way through the baking, jam would become too dry and shrink.
