Hi everyone!Sorry I've been so slowing in updating my blog, but I've been taking advantage of the glorious weather, while at the same time fighting a nasty computer virus. This weekend we are going camping, so no baking (although I did make vanilla bean marshmallows for s'mores - I'll try to get a photo.
But back to the baking at hand. I have read a lot of positive review's of Flo Braker's Pineapple Pockets from Sweet Miniatures, but people have said that shaping them was a PITA. Therefore I decided to use her fabulous tartlet dough and make ultra-mini pies (using a mini-muffin pan), with the pineapple filling.
They turned out pretty well, although it was hot in my kitchen and the dough became quite fragile. That's why the tarts are so irregularly-shaped. I couldn't help but add a little rum to the pineapple filling, which is pretty yummy. Basically you make a caramel, then add crushed pineapple to it. How can you beat that?
I have a few more baking adventures to relate once we get back from camping.
Oh, wow. These look super appetizing!!
