Pineapple and Rosselle Tarts

The long long pending item is finally ready and taste super yummy.
Using the dough recipe from my previous post, chocolate tarts, I finally made the pineapple and rosselle tart.


 The pineapple balls

 The rosselle tarts, color does not looks so nice but taste good


The pineapple jam is cooked by my mom, kinda sweet for me. And the rosselle jam, i cooked them quite some time back when I bought some to boil water for the little girl, Instead of wasting the flower, I added some candied melon and sugar and cook it for like 40mins... still kinda wet, but good coz it gets just right under the heat.
