Milton Said:

Has anyone heard of a home made ice cream recipe flavored with your favorite soft drink?

We Answered:

The easiest, and tastiest one I've tried is one can of Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk, one can of soda, any flavor, and one cup whole milk. You can also add one tsp. vanilla, if it goes with your soda flavor, like orange or cola. If you like it a little less sweet, you can add more milk. We've tried it with root beer, orange soda, cola, dr. pepper, and big red, and all have been great.

Coca Cola Easter Ham - Martha Stewart (c) 2003 Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours 25 minutes
Yield: 10 to 12 servings

1 (7 to 9-pound ham, rind removed
Whole cloves
1 pound dark brown sugar
1 (12-ounce) Coca ColaÂ®
1 (14-ounce) can pineapple rings, drained and juice reserved
1 cup sweet Concord grape wine (recommended: Manishevitz)
10 to 12 maraschino cherries
Fresh bay leaves, for garnish

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham crosswise and lengthwise, forming a crosshatch pattern about 1/4-inch deep and 1-inch apart. Place a clove in the center of each square.

Place ham, fat side up, in a double-layer disposable aluminum roasting pan. Pat brown sugar onto the surface of the ham (expect some sugar to fall into the roasting pan). Transfer to oven, and bake until brown sugar just begins to melt, about 30 minutes.

Remove ham from oven. Pour Coca Cola over ham, letting it mix with the melted sugar in the bottom of the pan. Baste ham with sugar mixture. Return ham to oven, and bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup reserved pineapple juice and the wine in a small bowl. Baste ham with pineapple mixture. Bake ham for a total of 16 minutes per pound, basting every 20 minutes with the juices in the bottom of the pan. During the last 20 minutes of baking time, decorate ham with pineapple rings. Use 2 to 3 toothpicks to hold each ring in place. Center a cherry in the center of each ring, and adhere with a toothpick.

Transfer ham to a platter, removing all toothpicks. Garnish ham with fresh bay leaves. Serve.

Chicken with Jesse's Lip Smacking Sauce - Recipe courtesy David Papale Show: Emeril Live

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 55 minutes
Yield: 8 servings

5 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (#10 size) can catsup
1 large Vidala onion fine chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
2 tablespoons Worchestshire sauce
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 (5-ounce) bottle pickapeppa sauce (This contains: mangos, raisins, tamarinds, salt and pepper, tomatoes)
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
2 large juice oranges
1 large lime
2 lemons
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons grated horseradish
1 can Coca ColaÂ®
Few dried chiles, to taste
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, to taste

Chicken:
3 whole chickens, halved
1 cup poultry seasoning
1 large onion
4 cloves garlic
1 can beer
1 stick butter
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Place the garlic in cup of boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove and chop fine. Saute the onions in the olive oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until just starting to brown. Remove from the heat and wait 1 minute for the pan to start to cool. Add the chopped garlic, stir, and place mixture in a bowl to cool - never let the garlic hit the hot oil over the fire - this way the garlic will infuse the remaining moisture and not burn and get bitter.

In a large stock pot over medium-low heat add the catsup and bring to a slow simmer, always stirring. After 10 minutes add the onions, garlic, soy sauce, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, pickapeppa sauce, and wine vinegar, and let simmer for another 10 minutes, covered.

Cut all the fruit into quarters and squeeze the juice into the pot. Then, add the fruit to the pot, with the brown sugar, horseradish, and Dr. Pepper. Continue to simmer for at least 40 minutes, covered. Add the dried chile peppers and cayenne, turn off heat and let the chiles go to work for about another 20 minutes.

Chicken:
Add all items to a very large pot of boiling water. Reduce heat, cover with a plate and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from the pot and let cool to room temperature, covered. Your grill should be very hot. We use a smoke box with wet wood chips in the gas grill to add a nice wood flavor (optional). Lightly spray the grill with non stick spray. Add the chicken and get nice grill marks on both sides. The bbq sauce should be in a large pot that has just been removed from the heat.

Very important: Just paint the chicken lightly with the sauce and let it stay on the grill for 1 minute on each side, just to burn the sauce. Remove from the grill and submerge in the hot bbq suce for a just a second. Put on platter and serve with very sour dough bread and vinegar and oil based cole slaw, cold beer and look out.

Kevin Said:

How does one start a small soft drink company?

We Answered:

1. you can look for a bottle supplier on EC21 and alibaba
2. For funds, it will be hard to get a bank loan, but there are a lot of oppurtunities to find a business angel.
Type this in on google, and look for these people. I found mine, just by asking my bank director where i could find these people, and het knew some
3. Also do some networking in network groups like JCI and others

GOOD LUCK!
