Tropical Pineapple Coconut Rum Cake
“Extremely moist and rich cake, perfect comfort food with a hot cup of coffee! If you can squirrel away some of this cake away before it all gets scarfed up, the longer it sits, the better it gets!” - Jeanne
Pecan Pie Balls
“This was surprisingly easy and fun to make, and the flavor is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Plus, I had enough left over after making both rum filled and non-alcoholic versions to make some almond bark and mint bark. Be careful not to make the balls too big, and chop the nuts very fine so it will mix up well. The hint to put water on your hands is very helpful. incredible recipe! A real keeper.” - Sherri

Pecan Pie Bread Pudding
“My first recipe I tried from Just a pinch. I made this thanksgiving day. Oh my gosh. It is scrum delicious. I made one mistake on the recipe because i read to far down. I put the 1/4 cup of rum in the bread mix by mistake. Well then I also put another 1/4 cup of rum in the rum sauce. So it got a double dose. I used the 9x13 baking dish and the thickness for me was perfect. I used all the rum sauce on top. When you cut it, there is lots of sauce in the bottom to dizzle back over the top. Topped it with ready whip. Everyone was bragging about how god it was. It is everything and more what Gina described. It was so easy to make and not many ingredients. This one is definitely a keeper!” - Jeff
Yummy Butterscotch Rum Cake
“This is a melt in your mouth cake. This recipe is a no brainer, it was given to my mom from a very good friend years ago. It still works, I made it for work this past year and it went over great. Had people wanting me to make one for them to take home.” - JoSele
Mini Chocolate Raspberry Rum Cakes
“This easy dessert is BIG on chocolate! Raspberry and chocolate are a heavenly flavor marriage and neither are overwhelming in the Bundt cake. The chocolate cake is light and moist. Drizzling the raspberry sauce over makes this rich chocolate dessert even more decadent.” - Kitchen Crew
Liquid Sunshine Punch
“Liquid Sunshine Punch is the perfect adult punch for any summer event . It is slightly tropical and fruity but not too strong and can be sipped on all day.” - Debbie
Yeast Waffle With Fresh Strawberry Rum Syrup
“These waffles are different than any waffle we've had. They are dough like and you have to spread the batter into your waffle iron, rather than it easily pouring. Nice and hearty, they have a heavier texture than a regular waffle and puff up perfectly. They're tasty alone, but the strawberry syrup is divine. The rum flavor is very slight and gives the finished product a robust flavor. Paired with the strawberry puree and lemon zest, it's heavenly. These definitely take a bit of time, but the end result is delicious and impressive.” - Kitchen Crew
Nunu's "Danc'n Orange" Glazed & Grilled Pineapple
“Grilled fruit is a summertime favorite and this grilled pineapple needs to be a part of your menu. It's super tasty! With a hint of orange and a hint of chipotle, the glaze is fabulous. Most of the alcohol from the rum cooks off and adds a richness to the flavor. We love how the pineapple caramelizes with the grilling process. It would add a bit of extra flavor to a hamburger or make a fabulous summertime dessert.” - Kitchen Crew
Cherry Lime Mojito
“I used to work as a bartender and learned so many different cocktail combinations. Even though I rarely drink, this is one of my favorite springtime cocktails. When made right it has a beautiful presentation and easily impresses your guests with little effort.” - Cara

“I loved this. I ate it for supper. The combinations of ingredients almost makes it almost addictive to me. I made it for a potluck at church and people came back for seconds.” - Donna
Strawberry Daiquiri Drunkcups
“These were absolutely delicious!!! I took them to a girls get together and everyone loved them. I ate 3 in one afternoon myself. Took the rest to work and they devoured them! The rum flavor was very subtle - but I make sure to tell everyone that it's in there (due to people in recovery)...can't wait to make them without the rum for the kids! Great recipe!” - Jamie
Pina Colada Sherbet
“You may garnish with a maraschino cherry and a pineapple chunk on a tiny drink umbrella. This is a great end to a dinner party. I usually have this made ahead of time. I line all the guests up and garnish it to their preference.” - Wayne
Blueberry Hibiscus Sangria
“This is a light, crisp, refreshing beverage - perfect for summertime!” - Tara
Rum Glazed Pound Cake

This pound cake will become your go-to recipe when you need a last minute dessert for a potluck, family party or if you get a craving for something sweet. The glaze on the top is on the thin side, but the flavors from the caramel frosting and rum soak beautifully into the cake.” - Kitchen Crew

Perfectly Simple Apple Cranberry Pie
“This is a relatively quick and easy pie for your holiday table, especially so if you use a refrigerated (prepared) pie crust. I like to use a lattice top to showcase the colorful berries but please make this pie your own with your fave top crust. The yummy taste combination with the tartness of cranberries paired with the sweetness of apples will give your taste buds a tingle! Your only spice to add is apple pie spice. That and a dash of vanilla and a splash of RUM, who can resist? Who would even want to?!?” - Cindy
