Ingredients
2 cups pineapple, diced
3 tablespoons sugar
100g shredded coconut
3 tablespoons sugar
100g shredded coconut
Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh pineapples in the produce section of local supermarkets like Massy Stores or Hi-Lo. Shredded coconut and sugar are available in the baking aisle of any neighborhood grocery store.
Preparation method
- Place the diced pineapple and sugar in a heavy-bottomed pot.
- Cook over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally until all the fruit juices have evaporated.
- Stir in the shredded coconut.
- Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Remove from the heat and let it cool completely before using as a filling for your pastries.
Observations
This sweet filling option offers a perfect balance between the two fruits. It is essential to ensure the syrup reduces completely while cooking so the pastry doesn't become soggy. Furthermore, allow the mixture to cool down entirely before assembling, as this is the secret to keeping your pastry crust perfectly crisp.
