Mozarella Cheese and Guava Quisadillas

I love quisadillas. They are easy to prepare and are an excellent appetizer. The tortilla wrap I use for this quisadillas is sold at Costco for few bucks. They stay fresh in the refrigerator for many months. They came in a square or round shape.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup guava paste (slice them)
2 slices Irish cheese (you can use any sharp cheese)
1/3 cup mozarella cheese
2 sheets tortilla wrap
Method: Line up cheeses and guava paste in the center of the tortilla wrap. Fold on both sides.
Heat quisadillas on nonstick skillet for few minutes on each side.
Cut half and garnish with shaved dubliner irish cheese.
Serve warm with a cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate. Enjoy!

Check out my beets quisadillas which was a hit.

Pineapple cookies - Tat Nenas -> Part 1

The first step in making delicious tat nenas is the filling that is pineapple jem. Over the years I have tried making the pineapple jem either from fresh pineapple or from pineapple in a can, the crushed kind. I find it fresh pineapple taste much more better than the pineapple in a can.
So here is my step by step before I make my Tat Nenas.


Pick almost ripe or ripe pineapple. Skin off. Then cut it into 4 lengthwise. This way it will be easier for you to handle the pineapple.
I use this old grater and start grating 2 pineapples.
Drain the excessive juice from the 2 grated pineapples.


On medium heat cook this pineapple. Here I have added 2 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 tablespoon grounded cinnamon, 1 teaspoon grounded cloves and 3 drops of red coloring.
Cook this until the water reduce and pineapple cook.

Here is the end product. Let this pineapple jem cool and store in the fridge until the next time when I am ready to make my Tat Nenas.

Kaya


Yes, finally I experience cooking kaya. Thank you Gertrude for showing me how to cook this!
What we used was 10 eggs, 3 cups of sugar, 3 pandan leaves, 1 can of thick coconut milk. The mixture was cooked on low heat gas stove for about 2 hours or so until the mixture cooked. Warning! You need extra extra patient to do this or else you will scramble the egg.
