Pineapple And Pomegranate Crumble Recipes

PERUVIAN POMEGRANATE PINEAPPLE PARTY PUNCH (P TO THE 5TH PUNCH)

Steps:

• Pour 1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice into an ice cube tray and freeze overnight.
• In a large bowl, mix the remaining 4 cups pomegranate juice, the pineapple juice, ginger ale, seltzer and pisco. Add the pomegranate ice cubes and serve in your favorite punch bowl.
• What Makes This Recipe Really Sing: Don't you just love when you go to a party and there is a specialty cocktail? (For some reason it always makes me happy.) This makes enough for a large crowd, this way everyone gets one or two and you don't have to work during the party. Pisco trivia also makes for great "Did ya know ...." conversation starters.
• BYOC: Feel free to throw in some pomegranate seeds on top. They will look like little jewels floating in your punch bowl. If you don't have a punch bowl and are serving this out of a pitcher you can garnish your glasses with pineapple slices. If you can't find pisco you can always use light rum.

PINEAPPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Weight the diced pineapple and reserve 1 lb for the crumble. Process enough of the remaining pineapple, including the chopped core, in a food processor or juicer to obtain 1/4 cup juice, saving remaining juice for another use.
• Heat butter in a large saucepan and add the reserved 1 lb pineapple, 3 T of the sugar and vanilla. Saute over medium heat for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Place the reserved 1/4 cup pineapple juice, remaining 1 T sugar, lemon juice, rum and cornstarch mixture in a small saucepan.
• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and clears. Add juice mixture to cooked pineapple and stir well to mix.
• To make crumble topping: Combine flour, sugar, vanilla and butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles bread crumbs; do not over mix.
• Preheat oven to 350. Transfer cooked pineapple mixture into a large dish. Sprinkle with the crumb topping and bake until golden brown, about 30 - 40 minutes.
• Serve warm.
