Pine Apples

Learning to cook can be as intimidating as trying to learn another language. Even for seasoned vets in the kitchen, going over complicated lists of ingredients and long sets of instructions can get confusing.
The great thing about most food processor recipes is that they are usually just a few simple steps. Most of the time all you have to do is just throw everything in there and blend it up!
If you have a food processor or are thinking about buying one, here are a few recipe ideas for you to try out. Below each of them are suggestions for quality food processors if you don't already have your own.

Fruits are always refreshing and they are delicious in cakes. These cake recipes made with fruit in them will be crowd pleasers. Try the Pineapple Chiffon for a light and luscious cake. The cake is made with pineapple juice and the filling/frosting with crushed pineapple. The Peach Pudding Cake is a totally different type of cake and is baked with 6 fresh peaches. Both are delicious!

PINEAPPLE CHIFFON CAKE

Pine Apples

2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup canola oil
5 egg yolks
3/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1 cup egg whites (approx. 8 eggs)
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Topping:

2 cups whipping cream
1 can (20-oz) can crushed pineapple, well drained

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add, in this order, the oil, egg yolks, and pineapple juice. Beat until smooth. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and the cream of tartar until very stiff peaks form. Pour batter in a thin stream over all egg white surface; fold in gently. Bake in an ungreased 10-inch tube pan at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. Invert pan. Allow cake to cool. Remove from pan and split into 2 layers. Fill and frost with the topping mix.

To make topping: Whip the whipping cream until creamy stiff. Fold into the crushed pineapple. Use to fill and frost the chiffon cake.

PEACH PUDDING CAKE

6 ripe peaches, peeled and halved
2 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup water
8 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup self-rising flour
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan; set aside.

In a large skillet, place the peaches with the cut side down. Add the brown sugar, vanilla, and water. Simmer mixture for 5 minutes. Allow to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the butter and sugar until well blended. Add the eggs to the sugar mixture and beat until light and fluffy. Add the flour, salt, and the cooked syrup from the peaches; beat until well blended. Place the peaches, cut side down, in the prepared baking pan. Top the peaches with the batter mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden in color and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After cake cools, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

Enjoy!

When it comes to making homemade dessert pies, you don't have to slave for hours making a recipe that is difficult and time consuming. This particular recipe was given to me 25 years ago by my grandmother and to this day, it is one of our favorites to make.

You can purchase two pre-made pie shells or make your own pie crust using your favorite recipe. Once the pie has completely cooled to room temperature, you will want to store it in the refrigerator.

When it comes to serving it, I recommend vanilla ice cream, vanilla yogurt or some whipped topping. If desired, you can place a few fresh cherries on top of your chosen topping right before serving.

Pineapple Pie Recipe

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons quick cooking tapioca

1/4 teaspoon table salt

4 cups fresh pineapple, chopped into pieces

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 unbaked pastry shells

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, tapioca and table salt. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pineapple pieces and lemon juice. Gently stir the sugar mixture into the pineapple mixture to combine all ingredients together. Let this mixture stand at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes.

Pour mixture into an unbaked pastry shell and dot the top with butter or margarine. Use the second pastry shell to make a top crust, seal the edges with a tad of water if necessary.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 minutes or until done. Cool pie to room temperature and then refrigerate.
