The Great Golden Pineapple Tart

Growing up in one of the 7,100 islands of the Philippines, I am very fond of fresh "pinya" or pineapples. Salt it, cake it, salad it, juice it, any which way suits really fine! My kids, urban citizens that they are, are by no means strangers to this crowned fruit, but they are more familiar with its canned form.🥫🥫🥫

Absolutely one of our favorite things every CNY here in this little red dot is the Pineapple Tart; this is one of the interesting ways we met this fruit, together. Shops stock up on this treat as the holiday approaches, culminates on the week itself, and lingers a little more.

Buttery, tangy, sweet. It's hard to keep these in the jar for long. Arrrrgh. MUST. PORTION.
