Pineapple Mojito Granita Recipes

Steps:

• In 12-inch skillet, cook pineapple over high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until edges turn golden brown and sugars begin to caramelize.
• Place pineapple in food processor or blender. Add lime juice and honey; process 30 seconds or until smooth. Pour into ungreased 9-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish. Stir in mint leaves. Cover; freeze 30 minutes.
• With fork, scrape mixture to distribute ice crystals evenly. Freeze 30 minutes longer.
• Scrape mixture again. Scoop into dessert dishes or cups. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Muddle mint leaves, sugar, and pineapple in a highball glass.
• Fill glass with ice cubes. Pour in pineapple juice and rum. Top with a splash of club soda. Garnish with pineapple wedge and remaining mint leaves.

Steps:

• Put the sugar and water into a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. When the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and let cool.
• Put the mint leaves into a blender along with the lime juice, rum, and cooled sugar syrup. Blend for about 30 to 45 seconds or until the mint is finely chopped. Pour this liquid into a 9 by 13-inch metal cake pan and put it into the freezer. Scrape the mixture every hour with a fork to break up the ice crystals. After about 4 to 6 hours, depending on your freezer, the pan will be full of mojito ice flakes and will be done. Serve in small, cold bowls or glasses, garnished with reserved mint leaves.

Steps:

• Divide the mint, sugar, and lime wedges among 4 old-fashioned glasses. Using a pestle (from a mortar and pestle) or the end of a wooden spoon, mash the mint, sugar, and lime together. Add some ice and top off with some pineapple juice concentrate, white rum, and club soda. Swirl with a sugar cane stick and serve.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a heavy-duty quart size resealable plastic bag. Seal tightly and store flat in freezer until firm.
• Fifteen minutes before serving, remove from freezer to soften slightly.
• Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound to crush ice mixture. Spoon into wine goblets or dessert dishes and serve garnished with orange segments and mint sprigs.

Steps:

• Remove rind from watermelon; dice into large cubes. Add watermelon, water, sugar, and mint leaves to an electric blender. Blend until pureed.
• Pour in rum and give it a couple of stirs to incorporate. Pour mixture into a 9x12-inch pan and place in the freezer for 4 hours. Scrape the mixture with a fork every 1 to 2 hours. It will not freeze completely due to the rum.
• Serve in a shallow bowl or a nice glass.

Steps:

• Place the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves into a clear liquid (simple sugar). Set aside to cool. Cut the pineapple into chunks, discarding the skin and core. Put some pineapple and some simple syrup in a blender or food processor and puree. Repeat until you've pureed all the pineapple and syrup. Pour into an 8- or 9-inch baking pan and freeze partway, stirring occasionally (so it doesn't become too solid to dish up). Scoop the partially frozen mixture into a tub or compote dishes to freeze up completely; it should be somewhat granular and scrape off the pan in long strips with the spoon. Serve garnished with the berries and the mint.

Steps:

• Mix pretzel crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of plastic wrap-lined 9-inch round pan. Freeze until ready to use.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar, lime zest, juice and mint in medium bowl with mixer until blended. Whisk in 1-1/2 cups COOL WHIP; spoon over crust.
• Freeze 4 hours or until firm. Serve topped with remaining COOL WHIP.

Steps:

• Combine sugar with 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until sugar is dissolved, stirring once or twice. Whisk juice into the sugar syrup and pour into a 9 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Freeze 2-3 hours, pulling a fork through the mixture every 30 minutes to make granules. Serve in glasses garnished with mint.

Steps:

• Crush the mint, pineapple chunks and brown sugar in the bottom of a shaker.
• Add the rum and shake with ice.
• Strain in a highball glass filled with crusched ice.
• Complete with pineapple juice and stir.
• Garnish with a pineapple chunk and mint.

Steps:

• Tip the pineapple, mango, limes and sugar into a large jug and muddle together. Bruise and add the mint leaves, then top with ice. Stir in the white rum, pineapple rum and sparkling water.
