A sweet and sour blend that mixes to perfection

Very delicious and refreshing!! Whole family gave it two thumbs up!

Chinese New Year is fast approaching and pineapple tarts are popping out everywhere if you are residing in Singapore. This year, I decided to make my own with a bit of old and new. I had been experimenting on these tarts for a couple of days and old is using a traditional recipe (which is from my grandma). New is going an unorthodox route with a French pastry as the base.I personally dislike the base. I find the cookie base crumbly and lack flavors without much texture. The pineapple jam is also a bit too sweet and doesn't have much of a chew. After much experimenting, I finally settled for a reduced sugar pineapple jam and a very underrated pastry, sablé breton, as the base. I can finally taste the pineapple's tartness as well as an aromatic cookie base.Even tho they look more rustic, but they are just the way I wanted them to be. The downside is the cookie base dough has to be parbaked be4 molding into individual tarts. This means the leftover cookies cannot be reused. You can bake the leftover and consume as it is or blitz them into powder and use it as garnishes for ice cream or any desserts.But I didn't stop here. I still feel that there is a lack of something and so I improvised. I had included the extra steps in the directions below. You can totally skip the extra steps and the tarts will still taste great. On a last note, do taste and adjust the amount of sugar that you are gonna add. Some pineapples are sweeter and some are sour.

pure fruit goodness! :grace

This tropical smoothie will put a smile in your face and have you daydreaming that you're on an island! For more fruity flavor, add a few strawberries! Enjoy! :)

So refreshing and has the nutrients of pom juice without the bitterness. Could add vodka for an alcoholic version.

I had a lot of canned pineapples at home.When you make the caramel, please be careful not to burn yourself! Recipe by piko-rin

One of my kids was put on a Mediterranean diet by his nutritionist. The nutrition also gave me a list of snacks ideas that he needs to be on. This is some of that snack list and some Mediterranean stuff. This should last him two days. This is to snack on during the day and night in between meals. Iam unsure of what he will actually eat something are new to him the olives what he is already complaining about , also new is the peppers, and he doesn’t like tomatoes much. Starting out slow , on our new journey with the Mediterranean diet. My second box that goes with this box definitely needs more items, we just don’t like or crackers, pita chips and stuff like that in the fridge so this is the dry box.
