Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare Oil Pastry. On a well-floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten pastry dough. Roll dough from center to edge into a 10- to 11-inch circle. To transfer pastry, wrap it around the rolling pin. Unroll pastry into an 8- to 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Ease pastry into tart pan, being careful not to stretch pastry. Press pastry into fluted side of tart pan; trim edge. Prick pastry all over with the tines of a fork. Bake for 5 minutes. Let stand on a wire rack while preparing filling.
2.
Meanwhile, for filling: In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple, sugar,* and cornstarch. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to boiling; cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon peel and lemon juice. Spread filling into crust-lined tart pan.
