Pineapple Tango Recipes

PINEAPPLE MANGO TANGO SCALLOPS SKEWERS

Steps:

• Pre-heat grill to medium high, and place grate at least 4 inches above fire.
• In food processor, combine 1 mango, 1 C pineapple, sesame oil, lime juice and zest and lemon pepper. Process until smooth, and set aside in small bowl.
• Combine lemon juice and sugar in a large bowl and stir until dissolved. Add scallops and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Thread four scallops per skewer with the remaining mango (cut into ½-inch pieces), pineapple and pepper, alternating evenly.
• Grill about four minutes on each side, until scallops turn opaque and have a bit of char to them. Transfer to a platter or individual plates and drizzle with sauce.

MANGO PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled. Serve with tortilla chips.

MANGO-PINEAPPLE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the red pepper flakes and cook until they begin to sizzle, then stir in the minced onion. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions have softened, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium, and stir in the ginger and yellow bell pepper. Cook and stir until the ginger is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the mangoes, pineapple, brown sugar, curry powder, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool the chutney completely when done and store in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

PINEAPPLE MANGO HABANERO JAM

Steps:

• Combine mangos, pineapple, and cider vinegar in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Bring to a a simmer; mash mangos and pineapple to a chunky consistency with a potato masher. Stir in sugar until dissolved.
• Stir liquid pectin and habanero chile halves into the stockpot. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently. Cook, stirring frequently, until jam thickens, about 2 minutes more. Remove chile halves. Discard 6 chile halves; chop 2 halves and stir back into the stockpot.
• Sterilize 8 half-pint jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
• Ladle hot jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder, spacing them 2 inches apart. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, about 8 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).
