Orange Pineapple Cooler Food

SPICY TROPICAL COOLERS

Steps:

• Make the jalapeno syrup: Bring the sugar, 2/3 cup water and half of the jalapeno slices to a simmer in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, muddle the remaining jalapeno slices in a large liquid measuring cup with a wooden spoon. Add the pineapple juice; let sit while the syrup cools.
• Strain the jalapeno syrup and pineapple juice mixture into a pitcher. Stir in the vodka, mango nectar and lime juice and refrigerate until ready to serve. Pour into ice-filled glasses; garnish with skewers of pineapple, jalapeno and mango.

PINEAPPLE COOLER

• Combine all ingredients in a pitcher. Serve over ice.

ORANGE PINEAPPLE COOLER

Steps:

• Combine orange juice, pineapple (with juice), and ginger in blender, blend until smooth.
• Fill tall glasses with 3 or 4 ice cubes, pour 1/2 cup of club soda in each glass, fill with orange pineapple mixture, and garnish with orange wedge.

PINEAPPLE-ORANGE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Combine the pineapple, honey, mint, orange zest and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Spoon some cheese onto each crostini, then top with the pineapple mixture.

ORANGE OR PINEAPPLE SORBET

Steps:

• When making sorbet, you can use fresh puree, fresh juice, or commercially prepared frozen puree. No matter which you use, you need simple syrup. When using fruit, it is often necessary to slightly vary the amount of simple syrup to balance the sweetness.
• A refractometer is a piece of equipment used by wine makers to determine the amount of sugar in grapes. It is also used to measure the sugar content in sorbet. It works by measuring light as it is reflected off the sugar crystals contained in the sorbet mix.
• Most ice cream machines work in the same way. The cold source comes from the outside of the container. The ice cream machine blade continually scrapes the sides of the container where the mix has frozen and mixes the frozen particles throughout. The continuous motion of the blade keeps the ice crystals small. If properly spun, sorbet and ice cream should not be icy. The motion of the blade also traps air in the mix as it thickens and gains volume.
• The PACOJET?Y allows you to mix, freeze, and spin the exact number of portions needed. This is a versatile, although expensive, machine that makes great ice creams, sorbets, soups, mousses and purees.
• Make the simple syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. All the sugar crystals should completely dissolve. Remove from the heat and pour into a clean medium-size bowl. Let cool completely before using. Simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator indefinitely if kept in an airtight container.
• The technique for the orange or pineapple sorbet is exactly the same. Use a refractometer to balance the sugar in the fruit juice. It may not be necessary to add very much simple syrup to the fruit juice if using commercially prepared fruit juice. It is often very sweet. The fruit juice and simple syrup combination should balance to a measure of 24 to 26 degrees Brix on the refractometer.
• Pour the fruit juice and syrup combination into the PACOJET?Y beaker and freeze until completely frozen. When frozen, remove from the freezer and place the beaker in the PACOJET?Y container. Insert and spin as many servings as you would like to make. The sorbet is ready to serve.

PINEAPPLE-ORANGE BLOSSOMS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Spray 8 (2 3/4x1 1/4-inch) muffin cups with CRISCO® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. Separate dough into 8 rolls; set icing aside. Cut each roll into quarters; place 4 quarters, points up and separated slightly, in each muffin cup.

• Bake 17 to 22 minutes or until light golden brown. High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Bake 20 to 23 minutes.
• Cool in pan on wire rack 5 minutes. Run knife around edges of muffin cups; remove rolls from cups and place on serving plate. Remove cover from icing; microwave on Medium (50%) 10 to 15 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle icing over warm rolls. Serve warm.

PINEAPPLE ORANGE PANCAKES
