Sangria And Fruit Salsa With Sweet Heat Pie Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; reserve.
• Place each type of sliced fruit on a separate silicone-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with some of the cinnamon-sugar.
• Bake the apples until the edges curl, about 2 hours. Transfer to a cooling rack. The chips will crisp as they cool.
• Bake the mango and pineapple slices for 30 minutes, then flip and sprinkle with more cinnamon-sugar. Continue to bake, flipping the mango and pineapple slices every half hour, for 2 1/2 more hours. Transfer to a cooling rack. The chips will crisp as they cool.
• Serve the fruit chips with the cheese cups.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the juice of 1/2 of lime, sweet chili sauce, mustard, horseradish and vinegar. Set aside.
• Heat 1/2-inch of oil in 12-inch heavy pan.
• Cut plantain on diagonal into 1-inch thick pieces, remove peel.
• When oil is hot, add the plantains and fry both sides until golden.
• Drain on paper bag, and sprinkle with salt, and minced garlic. With a flat bottomed, heat proof, glass bowl, smash plantains evenly flat, embedding garlic into them. Return to hot oil and fry until dark golden brown. Remove, drain again on a paper bag, adding more coarse salt, to taste, the red pepper flakes, the cayenne pepper and a squeeze of lime.
• Serve while hot with sweet heat sauce.

Steps:

• To prepare salsa: Finely chop apples, kiwi, grapes and strawberries and place in medium bowl. Grate orange peel to measure 1 teaspoon. Squeeze juice from orange. Add juice and grated peel to chopped fruit. Stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and apple jelly in small bowl. Add to fruit; toss gently to mix. Refrigerate 1 hour to mix flavors. To make cinnamon chips: Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Brush one side of tortillas with melted butter. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture on tortillas. Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges (as you would a pie) and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, or until golden. Cool. Recipe Tip: substitute 1-¼ teaspoons Jamaican jerk seasoning for cinnamon and nutmeg in the salsa.

Steps:

• In a pitcher, combine the first five ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Just before serving, stir in soda and fruit.
