We used organic brown sugar to sweeten at the end. The tarts tasted really good but after two days, they were soaked thru by the pineapple. What a disaster - espeiclaly as we had given them to friends!<br />How does one tell if the pineapple jam is dry enough?

Having a darker colour because it has caramelised. I use a mixture of honey pineapples (ripe) and the usual pineapples (half ripe) from Malaysia. The pineapples are lighter in colour and not as sweet.Reihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443124468469903577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2610144926941569642.post-13118642133091067862009-01-23T09:49:00.000+08:002009-01-23T09:49:00.000+08:00Hi Rei,I have also been using honey pineapples.
