SPICY SUNDAES

Steps:

• Heat the dessert sauce in small pot or microwave in small bowl. Stir in orange liqueur, cinnamon, and hot pepper. Fill sundae dishes with 2 scoops of ice cream and top with spicy, warm sauce and whipped cream. Using a vegetable peeler, decorate the sundaes with shavings of dark chocolate.

CHURRO CHIP SUNDAE

Steps:

• For the churro chips: Add 1 to 2 inches vegetable oil to a heavy-bottomed pot. Heat to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, mix together the sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl, then set aside.
• When the oil is ready, add the wonton wrappers in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook until golden and crisp, about a minute. Remove the chips and toss with a good amount of the cinnamon mixture; you don't want to skimp! Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and cinnamon mixture.
• For the sundaes: Add a scoop of each of the ice creams to a bowl. Add some chips around the edge, crushing a few over the top for good measure. Top with the whipped cream, cherries, dulce de leche and sprinkles. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more sundaes.

SPICED ORANGES

Steps:

• Place orange slices in a large stainless-steel saucepan; cover with cold water. Simmer until skins are tender, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Remove oranges with a slotted spoon; place in a colander to drain. Discard water.
• Combine sugar and vinegar in the same saucepan; stir over low heat. Bring to a boil. Add spices; simmer 10 minutes.
• Add oranges and simmer, covered, for 40 minutes, or until skins are translucent. Cool.
• Layer oranges in sterilized jars, cover with syrup, and seal. The oranges can be used right away, but the flavor will be improved by waiting 4 to 6 weeks.
