Tart Nenas : Pineapple Tart

I was craving again last night, for my all time favorite, the Pineapple Tart. A very good friend, Sherry, sent me a tray together with chocolate chips cookies, all the way from home and I cannot get enough of it! Bless your heart & Thank you Sherry!
tart nenas, pineapple tart
These are a must have, almost in every household during religious festivals back home, in Malaysia. May it be Chinese New Year, the Eid and other religious holidays or festivals, you will find them. It is delicious almost crumbly yet buttery on the outside; sweet, tart and almost chewy in its filling. Super delicious! Like Rugelach as my all time favorite in the States, these are the Ultimate Cookie back home, well next to Kuih Makmur [Mexican wedding cake in States] of course.

So, I went to my computer for recipe search and its among the top listed searches for 'Tart Nenas.' Of course everyone have their favorite ones. I got a few. After so many days of searching for the best ingredients, I came out with my own which came from a combination of so many recipes. I want my crust to be buttery, not too crumbly yet with a little crunch, enough to hold the pineapple jam that I made. This will be my 3rd recipe that I dare to come up with, according to what my taste bud likes.  I am making this tart without any rolling pin but just roll and press them with my fingers to make it into its shape. It may not be as pretty, like what I have seen online, but I think I got the taste to be just perfect. Just the way my FreezerNinja taste bud likes:) I would say, it taste like having thick almost chewy fruit jam on a shortbread. Something like that. Oh, and the cloves, made a world of difference in taste, that is if you like cloves:)

I first made them on Oct 14th with successful alteration last night, Oct 17th, 2009. So here goes, my avid reader.

Pineapple Tart.
~by FreezerNinja.

Pineapple Jam
1 Large Pineapple (ripe)
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 tsp of salt
6 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
2 tablespoon of cornflour

Peel, get rid of the core and grate or put them in your food processor.
Put the grated pineapple into a pot with sugar, salt, cloves and cinnamon and mixing them well, bring them to boil. Cook them till it gets thick, no more juice and add in the cornflour. Mix well, simmer and let it cook till further thickens, making sure to stir them from time to time.  This process took me about half an hour or so. I divided this to 4. The Tart dough below uses only a quarter of this Jam recipe.

Tart dough (makes 25 tart or cookie
)

4 oz of butter
2 tbsp confectioners sugar
1 egg
1 pinch of salt
3 tbsp cornflour
1 1/2 cup of all purpose flour

Beat butter till creamy.
Add in confectioners sugar and salt.  Mix well.
Add in egg. Mix well.
Add in flour and cornflour.

Mix well till the dough forms into a ball and do not stick to the bowl.

Heat your oven to 350ºF
. My recipe will use only a quarter of the jam that has been produced from one large pineapple. So you know what to do if you want to finish the jam:)

Divide the dough into 25 small portions.
Roll them in an oval shape, about 1/8" thick.
Put about 1/2 of a teaspoon pineapple jam in the middle of the dough and roll.
Put them about and inch apart on a parchment paper lined baking tray.

NOTE: If you like to add egg wash on the tart, this is the time to do it, just beat 1 egg and brush them before you put them into the oven.

Some of the tart/cookie, I stick one clove in, just because I love the taste of clove in my pineapple tart. I have a bit of a weird taste buds. This is optional.

Bake them about 30 mins or until the tart has turned a bit golden.

Happy Baking! Enjoy.

OnineOnineOnine:) & my fresh garden Pizza

o9o9o9 - a date that most think as lucky and for some, because of how it sounds in a certain language, means otherwise. To me, below is what is interesting about this number 9.
"In base 10 a number is evenly divisible by nine if and only if its digital root is 9. That is, if you multiply nine by any natural number, and repeatedly add the digits of the answer until it is just one digit, you will end up with nine" - wikipedia
I am not going to talk about numbers in this entry but just sharing a little knowledge I got from the web.

I will be talking about my summer obsession with my little garden. Little pots of flowers, herbs, peppers, tomatoes and zucchini.

veges in my balcony
produce harvestedRecently, I had harvested and made my very own garden produced vegetables into a quick pizza using pita bread that I bought fresh from a Mediterranean Market nearby, also topped with Spanish cheese. I have always wanted to try Spanish cheese when Rachel Ray used it in her sandwiches one time.

Firstly, I had sauteed onion, bought; bell pepper from my garden and sliced thinly beef in a pan for my meat portion of the pizza, then I sliced the cheese thinly, arranged so it almost covered the pita, topped with sliced tomatoes and zucchini from my garden. Since i did not have any basil, I chopped some cilantro then top it off with the sauteed beef. Everything were just eye-balled into each piece of pita that I have. Drizzle, extra virgin olive oil on top of the pita and put them in a 35o deg F oven for about 20 minutes or till the cheese melts.

beef pizza
Thinly crusted beef pizza. No sauce, just sliced cheese, tomato and zucchini and cilantro with a drizzle of extra Virgin Olive Oil. Voila!

Puteri Santubong

Oh……
Puteri Sentubong,
Sejinjang sayang,
Kisah lama,
Jaman mensia maya.

korus - chorus
Puteri Sentubong, Puteri Sejinjang,
Penjaga gunung Negeri Sarawak,
Manis sik(si') ada dapat dilawan,
Anak dak(da') Déwa turun kayangan. (2x)

Oh……
Sentubong puteri bertenun kain malam,
Oh……
Sejinjang puteri menumbok(menumbo') padi siang.

Satu hari nya duak(dua') kelahi,
Beranok anok (Berano' ano' ) sik(si') renti-renti,
Seorang madah dirik(diri') bagus agik(agi') ,
Seorang sik(si') ngalah walau sampei(sampay) ke mati.

ulang korus - repeat chorus

Oh……
Puteri Sentubong,
Sejinjang sayang,
Udah bermusuh
berpanjang panjang sayang

Udah lejuk(leju') nya duak(dua') kelahi,
Lalu bertukuk(betuku') nya duak(dua') puteri,
Sejinjang mengayun aluk(alu') ke pipi,
Tebik(tebi') Santubong sampai gitok(gito') ari.

Tapi Sentubong membalas juak(jua') ,
Lalu ditikam batang belidak(belida') ,
Sampei terkenak(tekena') Sejinjang kepala,
Lalu bertabor jadi Pulo Kera.

ulang korus - repeat chorus

Kisah Sentubong, kisah Sejinjang,
Asal berkawan jadi musuhan,
Kinék(kiné') tok(to') tinggal jadi kenangan,
Pakei ingatan sepanjang zaman.

this song is about two princesses who are best friends. Princess Sentubong, who loves to weave at night and Princess Sejinjang who grinds padi during the day. One day, both were comparing who is more better that the other, it leads to a huge fight that lasts for days until it got so heated up that Sejinjang swings her long wooden pestle to Sentubong's cheek which became dented till this day. Sentubong who do not want to lose, swings 'batang belida' - a weaving tool to Sejinjang's head which scattered and became the Kera Island. - It is believed that these two were cursed and became 2 mountains at the Northwest tip of Borneo, Gunung Santubong & Bukit Sejinjang.
