Step 1

In a saucepan combine drained tidbits and drained crushed pineapple, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, sugar, and ¾ cups reserved juice.

Step 2

Stir ingredients and bring to a boil and then simmer on low for 45 minutes.

Step 3

Remove about 1/3 cups of liquid from saucepan, reserve, and let cool.

Step 4

In a bowl combine cornstarch with cooled cup of liquid and stir.

Step 5

Pour back in mixture to thicken filling.

Step 6

Stir and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to a thickened consistency of preserves. (If runny add an additional tablespoon of cornstarch combined with 1/8 cup of reserved juice and simmer mixture for an additional 5 minutes).

Step 7

Make the empanada dough after your filling has chilled.

Step 8

In a stand mixer add the first 5 dry ingredients and combine on low. Add in the shortening and combine. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and milk and combine with dry ingredients. Continue to mix until you have soft dough. Knead dough and split the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 10

Take out half the dough and split it into 12 equal balls of dough.

Step 11

On a floured surface, roll out the dough balls into small round circles. Place a small dollop of pineapple filling on one half of each of the dough circles.

Step 12

Wet the bottom edge of the circles with egg glaze to help seal the two halves. Fold over the dough to cover filling and seal off the edges with a fork pressing down along the edges or using a pastry cutter.

Step 13

Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Step 14

Brush each empanada with egg glaze, sprinkle with raw sugar, if using.

Step 15

Puncture the top of each empanada with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 16

Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet; place the empanadas on the parchment paper and bake for 15 to 20 minutes on middle rack in the oven. If after 15 minutes you notice the bottoms of the empanadas starting to brown, move the cookie sheet to the top rack and continue to bake for the last 5 minutes, until golden brown.
