So Christmas comes to mind as a holiday where these Pineapple Rum Tartlets could grace your table.

I am a big fan of pineapple, I always eat it off the ham, and out of the pan. The tarts look very good indeed.

All you need is some coconut and you've got the ingredients for a Piña Colada.

Ellie. I do believe you have yet another award winning masterpiece. Unfortunately, I do not like heated or cooked pineapple, however, I do like it very much chilled and served with either cottage cheese or Philadelphia cream cheese. Mother would often serve pineapple cooked along with a ham. On the other hand, could I make this dessert with bananas or peaches in place of the pineapple? Thanks for sharing this delicious looking recipe with all of us foodies. David.
