Pineapple tarts are laborious and tiring via the traditional method as it requires hours of cooking the jam down to a nice thick jam-like consistency. I have been making pineapple tarts using the Thermomix for 2 years now and it has never been easier.
This time I did it in bulk as I am very familiar with the process. We bought 4 medium size fresh pineapple and cut down into rough sizes. I added a tin of store bought pineapple slices just to increase the volume.
Ingredients:
- 2.5 kg of pineapple flesh. Cut and cored (~ 4 medium size pineapples)
- 1 tin of pineapple slices (optional)
- 500gms of sugar
- 8 cloves
Method:
1. Chop the pineapple via Thermomix Speed 6 for a few seconds. You want a puree consistency
2. I did this is batches and then I sieve the pineapple through a strainer to get rid of as much juice possible
3. Save the juice for consumption or cooking
4. After sieving all the pineapple, it will easily fit into the Thermomix. I cooked this for 30 minutes, Varoma, Speed 1. I need to place the Varoma tray on top to get most of the steam out and to avoid a messy splatter
5. Look out for a nice jam-like consistency and a lightly brown colour. I like my jam abit soft so it just melts into your mouth.

Now to get a spot on shortcrust pastry to go with it
