While it may be the fiftieth state, Hawaiis exotic beauty and fantastic weather make it number one in the hearts of millions of Americans every year. If you cant jet off to Hawaii this year, consider throwing an Aloha party for family and friends. Aloha means hello and goodbye and so is a great party theme for big sendoffs and for parties to welcome friends and family back home. What does an Aloha party need? Why, an Aloha menu, of course.

As with any party, the choice of beverages for an Aloha menu is an important one. For the younger set, pineapple juice and fruit punch may be most appropriate. For your adult guests, try serving mixed drinks like Mai Tais or even a crisp pineapple wine. Ranging from sweet to semi-dry, these fruity white wines will give your guests something to talk about for days after the party. As an appetizer, try wrapping cubes of fresh cut pineapple in thin sliced ham. These can be skewered and grilled before guests arrive. As a main course, try a roast pork loin with cherry-pineapple glaze. Traditional poi is a great side dish. For dessert, cap off the Aloha menu with a classic pineapple upside down cake.

To make a cherry-pineapple glaze for your Aloha menu main course, start with a ten-ounce jar of maraschino cherries and a large can of crushed pineapple. Combine the juices from each and bring to a boil for approximately seven minutes. In another container, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with just enough orange juice to make a paste. Add this cornstarch/orange juice paste to the boiling juice mixture. Adjust thickness of glaze by adding more orange juice or cornstarch as necessary and your glaze is ready to use on a wonderful portion of roast pork.

While many may dream of a Hawaiian vacation, an Aloha menu at your next party can bring the islands home and create a sendoff or homecoming everyone will remember for years to come.
