Since my last post on pineapple tarts, I’ve received a few emails asking me about the pineapple jam or pineapple tarts filling—how it looks, the texture, the inside of the pineapple tarts—and I thought I would share this picture of pineapple jam (pineapple tarts filling) with you.
A perfect pineapple jam or pineapple tarts filling should be golden brown in color, with a sticky texture. The golden hue comes from the sugar added during the cooking process.
Last night, I made another two trays of pineapple tarts and converted them into pineapple shortcakes by adding 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening. Oh my, what a phenomenal improvement—the pastry was SO crumbly it practically melted in my mouth. Needless to say, I finished all of them, again!
Check out the beautiful inside of the pineapple tart above, which shows the delicious pineapple jam filling!

If you are using canned pineapple slices, drain the pineapple slices and then squeeze the extra water/juice with your hands. Blend the canned pineapples until they are mushy, about 10 seconds. If you use fresh pineapples, remove the skin, cut into pieces and blend for 10 seconds.

When I was a kid, I used to help my mom make pineapple jam tarts for Chinese New Year. She was famous for her jam tarts so all my relatives requested them every year.

The tarts/rolls look so yummy and plum! I made some adding whole wheat flour and milk powder (from a M’sian recipe), they turned really good. Then I ran out of pineapple jam, I substituted with strawberry jam & peanut butter. Not too bad either. Great post!
