PINA COLADA BAKED DOUGHNUTS (ZWT-9 PUERTO RICO)

• Strain the pineapple & reserve the juice. Squeeze out as much pineapple juice as possible using a cheesecloth, clean lint-free tea towel or by pressing crushed pineapple thru a fine sieve. There should an excess that can be used for the glaze. NOTE: Do not over-mix. Most of the steps require only enough mixing to combine.

• NOTE: This recipe assumes you have a doughnut baking pan. If you don't, then use a baking sheet & get creative. These pastries do not have to be round. They can be twisted (like me), etc.
• For Glaze:.

• Spoon onto cooled doughnuts. Sprinkle immediately w/the shredded coconut & wait at least 10 min for glaze to set before serving.

• Add onions, raisins & almonds. Then pour in the dressing & toss well. Chill for at least 1 hr before serving.
• NOTE: I can look into my creative cooking future & foresee that I may eventually play w/the flavor profile of this recipe. Using the salad dressing as the flavor mechanism would allow for different fruit flavors & even a sweet version that adds sugar or honey to the mix. Feel free to use your own imagination.
