Author's Notes

Ensure the butter used is in small cubes and is cold.

Using a pastry cutter or a fork to cut the butter into the flour prevents the cold butter from melting as there is no contact with heat.

Roll the pineapple filling into balls a day ahead so that it will be easier and faster to assemble the tarts.

Do not handle the dough too long so wrap the dough with the pineapple fillings as quickly as possible.

Make sure the baked pineapple tarts are cool completely before storing to avoid mould from forming. However, do not cool pineapple tarts under the fan as this will soften the pastry.
