If you have never grilled pound cake...
you are in for a delicious surprise!
Any 'flavor' of pound cake can and
should be grilled....lemon, vanilla and
butter flavored pound cake are our favorites.
We like to served grilled pound cake
topped with grilled fresh pineapple and
whipped cream. Talk about delicious!

Another great choice for grilling is Angel Food Cake.
Topped with roasted, balsamic strawberries or
fresh strawberries macerated with vanilla sugar.....
Delicious!!
Who needs chocolate!

Compote [KAHM-poht]
A chilled dish of fresh or dried fruit that has been slowly cooked,
in a sugar syrup, which may contain liquor or liqueur and sometimes spices. 
Slow cooking is important for the fruit to retain its shape.

Cranberry Rhubarb Compote is delicious.
Cranberry and Rhubarb are meant for each other.
They compliment each other beautifully.
If you like Strawberry and Rhubarb together,
you will love the combination of Cranberry and Rhubarb.
When cranberries are in season, usually in late October through December,
I pick up a few extra bags, throw them in my freezer and
wait until spring when the rhubarb is in season and
make up a batch of this yummy compote.
This recipe for compote is freezer friendly too.

What is your favorite dish to eat at a cookout?

Looking for something new to throw on the grill tonight?
Why not try some Trout.
If you or someone you know likes to fish, than you are in luck...
if not, many grocery stores now stock all types of commercially raised fish,
including Rainbow Trout.

Cedar planks for grilling can be purchased at all stores that carry grilling supplies.
Hardware stores, super centers, home decorating stores and
grocery stores, all stock grilling supplies.
Cedar planks need to be soaked before putting on the grill.
This allows the planks to 'smoke' and to not catch on fire.
Cedar planks do become charred on the grill grate side but
that's perfectly normal.

Trout Information~
Trout [TROWT]
Trout are fresh water fish, with firm-textured flesh,
and a medium to high fat content. (the good fat:)
Rainbow trout is probably the best known of the freshwater species and
is one of the most popular varieties in the world.
Trout can grow up to over 20 pounds,
but most commercially raised fish average around 8 ounces.
Rainbow, Brook and Speckled Trout, are considered the best eating.
Trout are available whole, fresh, frozen and in fillets.
They're most often fried but can be poached, baked,
steamed, grilled and broiled.
Whole trout is often stuffed before being cooked.

Whole fish comes either ungutted or drawn.
Drawn means the entrails and
sometimes its gills have been removed.
A fish that has been dressed has,
in addition to being drawn, had the scales removed.
Whole-dressed usually refers to the whole fish and
Pan-dressed refers to a fish with the head, tail and fins removed.

For this recipe we used one cedar plank and
one hickory 'flavored' plank.
Adler and Mesquite are also favorites of ours.
If your planks catch on fire while your grilling your fish,
you can simply do what my husband does....
he pours a small amount of his beer over the fish to put out the fire...
the minute my hubby fires up the grill, he cracks open a beer🍺
He says, "that food just doesn't taste the same" if he grills without a beer.
What-ever you say, dear😏

What is your favorite dish to eat at a cookout?

And If your looking for a visually interesting and
easy dish for summer picnics, potlucks or holiday gatherings,
give this retro recipe a try.

This one recipe from the makers of Jell-o and Dole Pineapple,
captures the heart and traditions of the 1950's.
Pineapple was becoming increasingly popular during the 1950's.
Due largely to the Soldiers who served in the Pacific during WWII and
with the availability of canned pineapple.
Fresh pineapple was starting to show up in grocery stores,
making this exotic fruit even more popular.
Many magazines of that time such as Ladies Home Journal and Family Circle,
were advertising fresh pineapple as the 'perfect' centerpiece for your party table.
Fresh and canned pineapple was becoming popular to use in appetizers,
served with ham as a main dish and
in dessert recipes such as pineapple upside down cake.

Dole advertisements used lime jell-o but
you can use any flavor of jell-o you like.
Over the years,
Dole advertised the recipe in different flavors and colors,
but the lime variation seems to be the favorite.

Hawaiian BBQ Bratwurst Kabobs

On the Menu Today~
Hawaiian BBQ Bratwurst Kabobs

Kabobs are great for grilling and
here on Turnips 2 Tangerines,
we have embraced the ease and deliciousness of kabobs.

This recipe proves that any ingredients work well together,
to make up a great and delicious tasting kabob.
In this recipe, we lightly basted the kabobs with
Sweet Baby Ray's {New} Hawaiian-Style BBQ Sauce,
during the last 10 minutes of grillin' time.

You can substitute Italian sausage, Polish Sausage,
Turkey Sausage, Kielbasa or your sausage in this recipe.
We of course, went with the Wisconsin favorite, the Bratwurst!

Mediterranean Frittata

On the Menu Today~
Mediterranean Frittata

What is a Frittata?
Pronounced [frih-TAH-tuh]
An Italian Omelet that usually has the ingredients mixed with the eggs,
rather than being folded inside, as with a French omelet.
It can be flipped or the top can be finished under a broiling unit.
An omelet is cooked quickly over moderately high heat and
after folding has a flat-sided half-oval shape.
A frittata is firmer because it's cooked very slowly over low heat and
round because it isn't folded.

As with an omelet,
any ingredient combination can be used to make a delicious,
satisfying and very affordable meal.

Make a Frittata for breakfast, lunch, dinner or
a late-night snack. Anytime is a good time for a frittata.

Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin Kabobs

On the Menu Today~

Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin Kabobs

Happy Father's Day~
What Dad doesn't like to grill on Dad's day!
Instead of the usual burgers, brats and steak,
why not make Dad some shish kabobs to grill...or
better yet, try these tasty Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin Kabobs,
and give Dad the day off.

Oven Roasted Pork
Tenderloin Kabobs

Kebab; Kabob [kuh-BOB]
Also called: shish kebab and shashlik.
Definition: Small chunks of meat, fish or shellfish,
that are marinated before being threaded on a skewer and
then usually grilled over coals.
Pieces of vegetables can also be threaded with the meat on the skewer.
If using wooden skewers, soak them first in water, wine, beer or fruit juice,
for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
This will prevent the wooden skewers from burning and
at the same time, adding flavor to your kabobs.
(if the skewers were soaked in wine, beer, or fruit juice etc first.)

This recipe is a great way to use marinated pork tenderloin,
that can be found in the meat department of all supermarkets.
If you can't find marinaded pork tenderloin or
you simply want to make your own marinade and
marinade a regular or plain pork tenderloin, this recipe
is extremely versatile and of course delicious.
Pork tenderloin is not only a very tender cut of meat,
it's very flavorful, can be used in many different recipes and
always turns out, no matter what method you use to cook it.

If you have the time, you can certainly make your own marinade or
you can buy one of the many, many varieties of delicious marinades,
that are on the grocery store shelves....
Have you ever stood and counted all of the different kinds of marinades,
grilling sauces and barbecue sauces that are available??
I have, and let me tell you, there are lots and lots!

For this recipe I went with a
Door County Cherry Pork Tenderloin from StoneRidge,
which is by far my absolute favorite.
I started buying Door County Cherry Pork Tenderloin years ago,
when we lived near Green Bay WI.
We purchased Door County Cherry Pork Tenderloin,
behind the meat counter at a fantastic store called: Festival Foods.
When we moved 'up north', we no longer lived near Festival Foods,
so it seemed our Door County Cherry Pork Tenderloin days were over.....
*Sigh*

But then one day, while shopping at the local Piggly Wiggly,
right there in the meat department, out of the corner of my eye,
I spotted Stoneridge Door County Cherry Pork Tenderloin.
Needless to say I was thrilled and
I started filling my cart with pork tenderloin.

Most Piggly Wiggly stores, plus many other grocery stores,
such as Trigs and local area "markets" here in northern Wisconsin,
carry StoneRidge products. (Stoneridge Summer Sausage is delish)
Besides Door County Cherry Pork Tenderloin we have tried;
Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin and Garlic & Herb Pork Tenderloin.
Both are equally delicious as the Door County Cherry variety and
either one will work equally great in this recipe.
Another brand of marinated pork tenderloin that I have seen in stores is Hormel.
I have also used Hormel marinated pork tenderloin in kabob recipes with great results.

Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin features a product I recently discovered,
Icelandic Smoked Sea Salt by Salt Traders.
I learned about Nordur Sea Salt through Hubba and
they were kind enough to send me free samples of;
Icelandic Smoked Sea Salt, Icelandic Blueberry Sea Salt,
Icelandic Rhubarb Sea Salt and Icelandic Licorice Sea Salt.
Icelandic Smoked Sea Salt added a wonderful smokey flavor to the kabobs.
Discover the wonderful flavors of Icelandic Sea Salt.
Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming recipes using Icelandic Sea Salt,
here on Turnips 2 Tangerines.

There are so many reasons why I like making shish kabobs;
1.You can change up the meat or fish and use your family's favorite vegetables.
2. Fruit is also a tasty option.....pineapple, peaches and plums all work well.
3. Fresh herbs can be used; mint with fruit, dill with fish, sage with poultry....
4. Kabobs are a great vegetarian option.

So get nuts....Make up some kabobs....Anyway you like...
