Frozen Sin

It's been awhile since I posted a recipe. If you are opposed to alcoholic beverages then you'll want to skip this one. Pretend you never saw it. I know there are some of you out there who will try this, though! The recipe calls for making these into popsicles, but I found them to be a bit too slushy for that. Next time I'll probably freeze them in individual cups and eat them with a spoon. YUM!

Slushies

1/2 Cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp ground ginger
zest of 1/2 lime
3 Cups fresh pineapple chunks (about 1 pound)
1 1/2 TBSP white rum
2/3 Cup fresh orange juice
2 1/2 Cups dry white wine

In a bowl, combine sugar, ginger, lime zest and pineapple. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape mixture into skillet and cook about 5 minutes, until pineapple carmelizes. Stir in the rum and cook about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add orange juice. Let cool. Puree fruit mixture in blender. Add white wine and pour the mixture into small cups with lids and freeze. Don't let the kids find them!
