TWD: Classic Berry Tart


But the berries in the grocery looked terrible. So I grilled the pineapple that was sitting on the counter and used that instead.

Yes, the pineapple/pastry cream combination was a bit unconventional, and my attempts to "Hawaiian-ize" the tart with macadamia nuts and coconut fell victim to an empty pantry (darn chockablock cookies!). I left off the jam glaze, although I might have gone for a ginger preserve in this case.

Pineapple sounds great to me! I used to make a kind of pineapple clafoutis that I had forgotten all about. Must find that recipe again...
Ginger glaze would be fantastic on just about anything, I think! I used mangoes and blackberries on mine.

Grilled pineapple sounds awesome and ginger glaze sounds even better!
