Tequila And Lime Baked Pineapple Recipes

TEQUILA LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight.
• Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

TEQUILA AND LIME BAKED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Stir together tequila, lime juice, and sugar until sugar is dissolved.
• Peel pineapple with a large sharp knife, keeping crown of leaves attached. Trim bottom.
• Remove eyes from pineapple in spiral channels with a sharp paring knife: Cut along each side of diagonal row of eyes that spirals down pineapple, forming a V-shaped channel. Cut out channel and eyes and repeat procedure with remaining rows of eyes.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Lay pineapple on its side, then, beginning at base and moving upward, carefully cut pineapple lengthwise in half through leaves, keeping leaves attached. Cut out core from each half and pull out some of long innermost leaves so no leaves are longer than about 7 inches.
• Arrange pineapple halves, flat sides down, in a glass or ceramic 13- by 9-inch baking dish, then pierce all over and all the way through with a skewer.
• Stir tequila mixture and spoon over pineapple. Lay a sheet of wax paper over pineapple and bake in middle of oven, basting with juices every 10 minutes, until pineapple is tender and slightly caramelized, about 50 minutes. Halve pineapple halves lengthwise and serve with any juices remaining in baking dish.

TROPIC LIKE IT'S HOT

Steps:

• Combine the first six ingredients in a chilled cocktail shaker. Shake and strain over fresh ice into a glass. Garnish with the pineapple slice.

LIME AND TEQUILA INFUSED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Mix triple sec, sugar, lime juice, tequila, and lime zest in a bowl; stir to dissolve sugar. Pour over strawberries in a large bowl. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until juice forms, about 1 hour.

PINEAPPLE-TEQUILA GOAT-CHEESE CAKE

Steps:

• Finely chop pineapple in a food processor. You should come away with about 4 cups. Place in a saucepan, mix with tequila and set aside for 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Use a little of the butter to brush the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Mix ground almonds with remaining butter and 2 tablespoons sugar, then press into bottom of pan. Bake 15 minutes, until lightly tanned. Set aside to cool.
• Add 1/4 cup agave syrup to pineapple in saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer at a fast clip about 30 minutes, until fruit turns jamlike and most of the liquid is gone. Set aside.
• Beat or process goat cheese and remaining 1 cup agave syrup until well blended. Add lime juice and egg yolks and beat or process until mixed. Whip egg whites until softly peaked, dust with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and beat until firm. Fold into goat cheese mixture.
• Spread pineapple over almond crust. Top with goat cheese mixture. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned and threatening to crack a bit around the edges. Allow to cool to room temperature before removing sides of pan and serving.

PINEAPPLE-LIME IMPOSSIBLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, lime juice, eggs, lime zest, salt, and vanilla extract for flan in a large bowl; whisk until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture into the prepared pan.
• Remove 4 pineapple slices and 1/2 cup pineapple juice from the can of pineapple. Cover and place in the refrigerator to reserve for the caramel topping.
• Place remaining pineapple slices and juice in the bowl of a food processor; blend until smooth. This should result in approximately 1 1/4 cups pureed pineapple.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl until combined.
• Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Stir in 1/2 of the pineapple puree until just combined. Continue adding dry ingredients alternately with pineapple puree, mixing until just combined. Place large spoonfuls of cake batter over the flan layer as evenly as possible; don't worry if they mix, they will separate during baking. Cover the Bundt® pan tightly with lightly greased aluminum foil and place it into a large roasting pan.
• Place in the preheated oven and fill the roasting pan with enough water to come 1/3 of the way up the sides of the Bundt® pan, or at least 1 inch deep. Bake in the hot water bath until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove from the water bath, remove aluminum foil, and allow cake to cool in the pan for 1 hour. Carefully run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or platter and allow to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Loosely cover cake and place into the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.
• Shortly before you are ready to serve the cake, combine butter and brown sugar for caramel topping in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until bubbling and sugar has melted, about 2 minutes. Pour in reserved 1/2 cup pineapple juice; cook and stir until mixture is bubbling and thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Add reserved pineapple slices and cook, stirring the sauce frequently, about 3 minutes. Flip pineapple slices over; cook and stir until sauce has thickened and turned a slightly deeper golden brown color, about 3 minutes more.
• Quickly and carefully place the pineapple slices on top of the cooled cake. Spoon caramel sauce over top of the pineapple slices and cake. Garnish with lime zest and cherries.

GRILLED TEQUILA LIME PINEAPPLE CHUNKS

Steps:

• Soak 1 dozen small bamboo skewers in cold water. Cut off top and bottom poles of pineapple. Stand it upright on the cutting board and cut off rind, using a sharp knife and smooth downward motions. Remove any remaining eyes with the tip of a paring knife. Cut in quarters lengthwise and cut out and discard woody core. Cut flesh into 1 or 1 1/2-inch chunks.
• In a medium bowl, combine tequila, lime juice and sugar. Add pineapple chunks and toss to coat. Let marinate 30 minutes at room temperature. Preheat grill to medium high. Drain pineapple chunks and divide among skewers. Brush grill well, wipe with oiled paper towel and place skewers on grill at an angle. Cook a total of 68 minutes, turning frequently, until outside is lightly caramelized. Remove from grill, let cool slightly and serve 2 skewers in each bowl of Watermelon Granita.

TEQUILA LIME PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Remove rind from pineapple, core, and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices.
• Combine tequila, 1 tbl lime juice, and pineapple. Marinate for 30 minutes.
• Drain and toss with brown sugar.
• Coat saute pan with canola oil and heat on medium high. Add pineapple slices and cook, turning frequently, until caramelized, about 6 minutes. Dice half of the slices into 1/4 inch pieces. (Refrigerate remaining slices for another use. I would probably not bother marinating half of the slices to begin with).
• Combine the diced pineapple with the remaining lime juice and the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Let salsa sit for 30 minutes before serving.

PINEAPPLE TEQUILA

Steps:

• Cut the top off the pineapple and then cut off the skin, being careful to get rid of all the scales.
• Remove the core and dicard.
• Cut fruit into chunks small enough to fit in the bottle.
• Put pineapple in the bottle.
• Combine sugar and tequila, stirring to dissolve sugar.
• Pour into bottle.
• Split vanilla bean and add it to the bottle.
• Let the tequila stand for at least 1 week, shaking gently everyday to mix ingredients.

PINEAPPLE LIME PIE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine milk, lime juice and pineapple. Stir in food coloring if desired. Spoon into crust. In a small bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Spoon over filling. Sprinkle with chocolate if desired. Chill for at least 8 hours.
