Cookies with pineapple jam - nastar - are traditionally prepared in Indonesia for Christmas (yes, this Catholic holiday is also celebrated here!) And on Eid al-Adha, which the locals call Eid al-Adha. And on an industrial scale! They try to give cookies not only to relatives and guests, but also to poor people, wanderers and almost everyone they meet, which means that there should be enough baked goods for everyone. Therefore, on the eve of the holiday, all women are engaged in the same business, and, I must say, with great pleasure. One can only guess how little fidgets are waiting for the upcoming tasting! Under the delicate crumbly dough, there is a fragrant, thick, sweet filling of freshly made pineapple jam, so it is absolutely impossible to eat just one cookie.
