2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoons of cold water
To serve
1 cup of whipped cream
Melt the 1/2 cup of butter in a large skillet
Add the pineapples, sugar, and lime zest
Cook the pineapples stirring occasionally until they are tender
Transfer them to a bowl and let them cool
Prepare the crust: in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with the butter or margarine and vegetable oil cut into small pieces
Add the salt
Mix well until everything is combined
Add the water and mix stirring with a spoon until all the water has been absorbed
Shape the dough into a ball
Gently knead it with your palm for a few seconds to distribute the fat evenly
Shape it again into a ball
Dust with flour, wrap in wax paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour
Preheat the oven at high heat (200°F)
Grease a tart pan with a diameter of 9 inches
Prepare the caramel: in a medium skillet, cook the sugar, water, and cream tartar over medium heat until a golden brown syrup is obtained
Pour it into the tart pan and arrange the pineapple slices on top
Cover with the crust and bake at moderate heat (170°F) for about 35 minutes
Let it cool for 30 minutes and then invert onto a plate, so that the pineapples are on top and the crust is on the bottom
Serve warm or cold with whipped cream mixed with brandy.
