Grapefruit Pineapple Bellini Trishia Yearwood Recipes

Steps:

• For the mint lime simple syrup: Add the lime juice, honey, mint leaves and 1 cup of water to a small saucepot and bring to a boil. Stir until honey is dissolved, then remove from heat. Let cool and strain out mint.
• For the salsa: Put the blueberries, pomegranate seeds, grapefruit, kiwi and mango in a bowl and add 1/4 cup simple syrup (save remainder for another use). Gently toss and garnish with mint leaves.

Steps:

• Add the pomegranate juice, grapefruit juice, vodka, blackberries, orange slices and lemon rounds to a large pitcher. Top with the soda water before serving.

Steps:

• For the patty melts: Preheat a grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack.
• Lay the bacon on a baking sheet and cook until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the bacon fat.
• Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and divide into 4 equal balls. Shape the balls into flat 5-inch square patties and place on a platter or sheet pan. Make a dimple in the center of each so they cook evenly. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the pimiento cheese: Pulse together the pepper jack cheese, pimientos, mayonnaise and jalapeños in a food processor. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature, or if making ahead, take out 30 minutes before using. The mixture should be easily spreadable.
• For the patty melts: Have a clean baking sheet or platter ready for all the finished grilled components. Pat the pineapple dry and add to the grill; cook until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the pineapple and add the patties. Cook until the patties are browned and have grill marks, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Add the patties to the baking sheet.
• To assemble the sandwiches: Mix the butter with 1 to 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat in a small bowl. Spread one side of all the bread with the butter. Spread 3 tablespoons of the pimiento cheese on the other side of the bread. Place the bread on the grill, butter-side down. Add 2 slices bacon directly to four of the bread slices on the pimiento cheese. Top with a patty and a slice of pineapple, then top with the other toasted slice of bread, butter-side up.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Stir together the grapefruit juice, cranberry juice and vodka in a cocktail shaker. Pour over ice in a cocktail glass and serve garnished with a lime wedge.

Steps:

• For the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the thyme sprigs, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool for at least 20 minutes.
• Cut the ends off one of the grapefruits and place cut-side down on the counter. Using a paring knife, cut away the peel. Working over a small bowl or a large glass measuring cup to catch any juices, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment and remove the segments. Place the grapefruit segments in 4 chilled champagne flutes. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl. Discard the membranes. Halve the remaining grapefruit and squeeze the juice into the bowl.
• Strain the simple syrup and grapefruit juice into a small pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Add the prosecco.
• Pour into the prepared glasses and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if using.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise from the very top to the bottom (keeping the leaves on). Then cut each half lengthwise in half again, so you have 4 long pieces with leaves at one end.
• Add the jelly, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is fully combined and liquid.
• Brush the pineapple with some of the mixture (reserve the remaining mixture), transfer to the grill and grill 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and, using a sharp knife, cut the bottom ends off each piece of pineapple. Then, carefully cut lengthwise from the bottom to the top of each piece along the skin (separating the fruit from the skin), and then crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
• Drizzle the remaining apricot mixture over the pineapple. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
