Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I tried this recipe last year and now it's a Munoz Family staple! The only change I made is instead of melting the caramels - I use the caramel sundae topping on the graham cracker crust.. It's a time saver and - - simply delish!!!
