Pineapple Tarts

Easy Version of Pineapple Tarts Filling.


Chinese New Year is around the corner and many people will definitely try to make Pineapple tarts for this occasion. The most challenging part of making these tarts is the pineapple filling. I would love to share how to cook the pineapple tart filling in microwave within one and a half hour . It's easy and simple. 

Ingredients:

1 Big can of pineapple 3kg

1  bowls of sugar *normal rice bowl ( You can add more 

sugar according to your own taste) 

2 sticks of cinnamon 

6 cloves

1 star anise


1 whole lemon juice 

A can of  3kg Pineapple chunks. Drain out the pineapple juice. 

Use hand blender to blend  pineapple chunks. Drain out the extra juice.

 
Add in  the sugar, cinnamon, cloves and star anise.  Put in the microwave for 10 minutes. 

After 10 minutes in the microwave remove and stir well. Every cycle is 10 minutes, continue about 5 cycles

After four 10 minutes cycle the jam should look like this. Remember to stir every cycle. 

After the 5th 10 minute cycle. 


 Start four 5 minute cycles. Every 5 minutes stir the pineapple jam. 

This is the end result for the Pineapple jam ( about 1.2 kg ) . Add in the lemon juice to boost the flavour of the Pineapple jam. 
Tip: Can prepare the Pineapple filling in advance and refrigerate until needed. Don't cook the jam for too long, or else it will be too dry, since you will also have to bake it in the oven inside the pastry.
