Pina Colada Sorbet


Ingredients
  • 1 cup finely chopped pineapple, frozen
  • 1 Tbs. coconut milk
  • 2 Tbs. creamed coconut or coconut butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. In a blender or food processor, blend the pineapple and coconut milk until smooth. Let the pineapple chunks soften for about 5 minutes, if necessary, to help blend smoothly. This works best in a high powered blender or mini food processor. If you only have a large food processor, you may wish to double the recipe so there is enough stuff to get blended.
  2. Add the creamed coconut and continue blending. It will appear to harden in chunks, but continue blending. There will be only small flecks of the creamed coconut. Enjoy immediately or freeze for later.

Popcorn


Sweet Vanilla Popcorn (Rainbow Popcorn)

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cup white/caster sugar
  • 1-2 teaspoon vanilla extract/flavouring
  • ½ cup popcorn kernels (or 8 cups popped popcorn)
  • 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for popping)
  • food colouring
Directions
Coat the bottom of a large pan (one that has a lid) with a few tablespoons vegetable oil.
Add 1/2 cup popcorn kernels.
Cover pan.
Turn stovetop burner to medium or medium-high heat.
Let kernels cook, shaking occasionally to prevent burning.

Allow to cool a minute or two.
Pour popcorn into a bowl.

For the Vanilla Syrup
Mix milk and sugar in a sauce pan and on medium heat bring to a boil.
Careful not to let it burn and do not scrape the sides of the pan or the sugar will crystallize.
Add vanilla extract (or any other flavouring) and your choice of food colouring (we used blue and red as I got vetoed on the black food colouring *sulk* I have two bottles of the crap to use up) and mix well.
Place the popcorn in a large bowl then pour the hot liquid over it and coat as evenly as you can, you can put as much or as little syrup over the popcorn as you like.
Spread baking paper to dry. You can place the baking paper onto baking trays and place in a low oven (200°F or 100°Cfor 10-15 minutes to help dry out (harden) the popcorn.
