Limbellimber Puerto Rican Icee Food

Originating in Puerto Rico and coming in many flavors, limber is named after the pilot Charles A. Lindbergh, who landed on the island in 1928. According to El Nuevo Día, Puerto Rico's newspaper of record, he was greeted with this delicious frozen juice, which came to be called limber, it's said, after how many on the island pronounced the pilot's name. In New York, this simple dessert may be one of the best things about summers in the Bronx. Serve it in cups - squeeze the cups, take your first lick, then turn the dessert upside-down - or as ice cubes. The cubes are especially nice in coconut-flavored rum after a long day. It's the much-needed cool-off you're yearning for.

Often found at shacks on the beach in Puerto Rico, this full-flavored crab dish is served in the shell, or with rice and green bananas or plantains. A defining element of the dish is sofrito, a traditional Spanish sauce of tomatoes, onions, garlic, bell peppers, cilantro, and hot pepper. Found at epicurious.com

This recipe is used in conjunction with my Recipe #315833. The Adobo Marinade is used to marinate the chicken overnight to impart a true Puerto Rican flavor and make the chicken very tender and juicy.

This is a dense cake which is very buttery and a lovely almond flavor. Especially good with frosting and can support fondant. I use Marshmallow Fondant which you can make at home and tastes superior to the pre-made fondant. I'm listing the ingredients for the almond buttercream frosting, however I personally prefer to still use Buttercream Icing I recipe, which is my favorite. I have made the soaking syrup without the Brandy when I made this cake for my daughter's birthday and it was still delicious. ***Just a few thoughts on ingredients: I personally feel if I'm making from scratch to buy a good quality extract, I use a Bourbon Vanilla from Madagascar and only use Pure Almond Extract. Be advised that Almond Extract is a strong flavor, so use less if you prefer or halve it with Vanilla extract. I also never use butter with salt in it. Look for unsalted butter or sweet cream butter. I would prefer to control the amount of salt in my recipes. Happy Baking!
