FRESH FRUIT SALAD WITH CITRUS GLAZE

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, and orange zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until slightly thickened, about five minutes.
• Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and set aside to cool.

• Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge until serving.

CITRUS GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, water, sugar and salt in a small skillet. Mix well, and bring to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. Cook until reduced by half. Let cool until the glaze is thick and sticky.
• Brush onto grilled meats or fish during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Pour remaining glaze over afterwards, or use as bright decoration to your entree.

SPICE-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK WITH ORANGE-PINEAPPLE CHIPOTLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Prepare the glaze - you can make this ahead and reheat before use! In a saucepan blend the pineapple and orange juices with the vinegar, pureed chipotles and ground cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered until mixture is reduced by 2/3, 45-60 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. (If you want to use as a basting sauce for other recipes, stop here.) Return mixture to heat, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer to reduce by almost one half. The glaze or basting sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for one month.
• For the steak, combine the toasted cumin seeds, cracked peppercorns and salt in a small bowl. Rub the steaks on both sides with the spice mixture. Let sit at room temperature while you heat the grill.
• Grill the steaks over very hot coals (or pan-sear the steaks over high heat) about 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, 1-2 minutes longer for medium, less for rare, checking carefully for doneness since the thickness of the steaks and intensity of heat will affect cooking time.
• Remove steaks from heat when just slightly underdone: cooking will continue while standing. Brush with glaze, and allow steaks to stand for 5-8 minutes. Serve on warmed plates, with extra glaze on the side.

• Pour approximately 3/4 cup batter in each paper liner.
• Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Allow to cool, and remove muffins from pan.
• GLAZE: Spread 1/2 cup coconut flakes on a small sheet pan or ovenproof skillet, and bake in a 350 degree oven until golden, about 5 to 7 minutes CAUTION: Coconut burns easily, so keep an eye on it.
• In a clean bowl, blend powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon each of freshly squeezed lemon juice and orange juice until smooth. Consistency should be like that of white glue. CAUTION: Humidity may affect proportions. If more liquid is needed, add a few drops of juice at a time as necessary. If mixture is too liquid, add more powdered sugar as necessary.
