PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Carefully slice the pineapple rings in half horizontally to make them into thin rings. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then turn off the heat and whisk in the brown sugar until completely blended. Spoon a tablespoon of the sugar mixture into each well of a nonstick metal doughnut pan, then add a pineapple slice to each, pressing down firmly.
• Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, oil, vanilla, egg, reserved pineapple juice and 1/4 cup water in a separate medium bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until fully blended. Pour into a large piping bag or gallon resealable plastic bag, snip the corner to make a 3/4-inch opening and pipe some batter into the doughnut pan, filling each well just shy of the top.
• Put the doughnut pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until a toothpick inserted in the doughnuts comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Cool the doughnuts in the pan 5 minutes, then loosen from the pan with an offset spatula and invert onto a cooling rack. Top each doughnut with a cherry and repeat with the remaining batter two more times.

• Arrange the bacon donuts on a sheet pan lined with a wire rack. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bacon is browned. If bacon is full cooked but not brown, broil for 1-2 minutes.

• Wrap each chunk of pineapple with a piece of bacon and secure with toothpicks. Place in a shallow baking dish. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, mayonnaise and chili sauce; pour over the bacon wrapped pineapple.
• Bake uncovered for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until bacon is crispy on the edges and the sauce is bubbly. Serve warm.

PINEAPPLE AND BACON

Steps:

• Fry bacon until clear and still soft. Do not cook completely or it won't roll when cool.
• Depending on the length of bacon slices, cut crosswise into 2 or 3 pieces.

• Place in a shallow baking pan.
• Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for about 15 minutes or until bacon is cooked.

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine yellow cake mix, eggs, pineapple juice, coconut milk and vegetable oil until batter is thick and smooth, about 2 minutes on medium speed.
• Spoon or pipe batter into prepared pan, filling only about 1/2 way up the sides. Use an offset spatula or spoon to spread evenly, then bake for 12 minutes until donut cakes are set. Let cool 5 minutes on a wire rack, then invert cakes on rack to cool completely.
• Melt the yellow and light cocoa candy melts according to instructions. Dip each donut into the melted yellow chocolate, dipping them deep enough to just fill the center. Remove and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let set completely.
• Transfer melted light cocoa candy melts to a small squeeze bottle or pastry bag fitted with a small tip. Pipe crossing lines onto each donut, about 4 going in each direction. Top with pineapple top cutouts.
