Waikiki Meatballs

1 Package Frozen Meatballs
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 13 oz Pineapple Tidbits-drained and save juice
1 1/3 Cup White Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
1/3 Cup Chopped Green Pepper

Mix Cornstarch and sugar.  Stir in pineapple juice, vinegar and soy sauce.  Mix till smooth.  Pour in skillet.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick and boiling.  Put meatballs in crock pot.  Pour sauce over meatballs cook on low for 2-3 hours.  Serve over rice.

Buttermilk Caramel Syrup

3/4 Cup Buttermilk
1 1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Stick Real Butter
2 Tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Combine buttermilk, sugar, butter, corn syrup and baking soda in a LARGE pot.  Like one you'd make soup in.  Yes, you'll have way more pot than ingredients but this will boil all over your stove if you put it in a smaller saucepan.

Bring ingredients to a boil and reduce heat to low (as long as it is still bubbling you're okay).  Cook, stirring very frequently for 8-9 minutes. 

When it done, it should take on a golden-brown color. Remove from heat and add vanilla.

There will be foam on top.  It tastes just as good,but it's not super pretty.  You can skim it off or just give it a good stir.

This is great on almost anything, ice cream, pancakes, waffles, french toast, bananas. Like I said almost anything.

Butter Cream Frosting

1 Cup Butter (salted, or unsalted)-softened
4 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (a good quality)
2-3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream, Half and Half or Milk

*Optional-If you want a cream cheese frosting it cuts down on the sweetness just a bit.  For a very light cream cheese flavor add 4 oz cream cheese leaving the other ingredients listed above the same.  For a more traditional cream cheese flavor, reduce the butter to 1/2 cup, and add 8 oz cream cheese and reduce the cream or milk to 1 tablespoon.

If you want chocolate buttercream, add 1/2 cup (good quality) unsweetened cocoa powder.

Directions

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment, beat butter (on medium speed) until completely smooth (30 seconds to a minute)  (If you are adding cream cheese, add it now, then beast until smooth)
• One cup and a time, add 2 cups of powdered sugar beating after each cup.
• Add vanilla, or other flavors and beat to combine.
• Add 1 tablespoon of cream, continue beating.
• Add the remaining 2 cups of powdered sugar, one at a time.
• Add an additional 1-2 tablespoons cream until desired consistency is reached. If you want to pipe the frosting on cupcakes, the frosting should be nice and thick.  Continue to beat another minute or so.  The frosting should now be smooth and fluffy.

If your frosting is not smooth, it is likely because the butter was not fully smooth before adding the other ingredients.
