Amys Pineapple Tart

Amy was an old friend of the family who passed away a few years ago. She joined us for many special occasions like Christmas, birthdays and other celebrations. She was a fabulous baker, whipping up feasts of cakes and cookies for visitors who might happen to drop by.

This Pineapple Tart is just one of many recipes belonging to Amy and has been used by Tony on the menu many times. A true Queensland dish, delicious after a summer dinner party.
