pineapple tarts

im back with sooo much to update. at one breath, i updated 3 posts! xP
baked pineapple tarts, both open and closed. i personally prefer the closed type (: it really takes a lot of work from pineapple to what you see, pineapple paste. one day gone for pineapple paste. what i dread most is thse "pineapple eyes"! hahah. pls pardon those there and then photos i've taken.




inspired by nancy to bake the rose pineapple tarts. but mine is far from hers! can she pls enlighten me, how she make those petals thick and nice? mine is not bad to see, bad to hold, once broken consider pineapple crumbs! hahah. in short, is FRAGILE!
spotted a rabbit pineapple tart? saw from cuisine paradise and i made two (:
as for those pineapple rolls, can anyone enlighten me, how to avoid or make it not have any cracks??

THANK YOU!! (: (:

    maybe your oven temp is too high to cause the crack lower 10-20degrees of the original recipe can see how it goes.. beautifully done though great work jasmine!

    thank you cathy (: but got to try more on the shaping though. and fine tune the recipe before posting it (:

    Hey Jasmine. Not bad at all! Dont see anything wrong with your roses. They r beautiful! The only difference from mine is I think I clipped the rows nearer to each other.

    You are very hardworking! Do different kind of shapes. For me usually is open tarts the easiest...lol! Look forward to see more of your CNY bakes.

    hi lena (: yes, i like to adjust the taste (sweet or/and sour) for my family (: and i dont like spices to be added inside those pineapple paste. so fussy right! hahah. so got to make it myself. it really test my patience when it comes to those pineapple eyes! suddenly i wish they are GM pineapples w/o eyes! hahah. THANK you for your kind words (: (:

    thank you wen! (: is more of stubborn character than hardworking. hahah. i insist to have it all homemade to my liking (: is really fun to have it all shaped differently (: opposite of you, those open tarts are not easy for me! the centre circle always crack after i remove from the mould despite flouring it super generously! ):
