pineapple tarts

Fruity Asian treats

Pineapple tarts are small pastries filled with sweet pineapple jam, traditional to Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

They are especially associated with Chinese New Year celebrations, when families prepare or purchase them in large quantities as festive treats.

The pastry is typically buttery and crumbly, sometimes topped with a lattice or decorative pineapple-shaped crust.

We always have pineapple tarts during the holidays.
