Pineapple Tarts

Pineapple tarts (鳳梨酥) are treasured as a festive dessert in Taiwan. It is commonly exchanged around Chinese New Year, Mid Autumn Festival, and for visiting family and friends. Pineapple tarts consists of a sweet jam filling enclosed within a rectangular butter pastry. There are other variations of jam fillings apart from the traditional pineapple flavour, such as honeydew melon, taro, lotus, and seaweed. Sometimes, salted egg yolk is added to enrich the flavour and this creates a beautiful balance between sweet and salty.

Whenever I take a bite into one of these sweet delicacies, a sense of happiness warms me and reminds me of home. The crisp buttery pastry melts in your mouth and the soft pineapple jam filling satisfies anyone with a sweet tooth.
