6th Annual Power of Pink Challenge

Today kicks off my 6th Annual Power of Pink Challenge. Back in 2008, I wanted to find a way to help promote Breast Cancer Awareness during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I came up with the Power of Pink Challenge to as a way to encourage fellow bloggers, bakers, and readers to think about Breast Cancer Awareness by making something PINK in their kitchen.

As you all know, breast cancer is a disease that has touched my life in more ways that I would like to admit. I have made it a personal goal of mine to try to make a difference on this front.

I have been saving pink recipes as I see them come up throughout the year. To check out some inspiration here are the Power of Pink Favorites on Foodgawker or my Power of Pink Posts.

Here are the rules for the challenge:

Make something that is PINK – use any ingredients you want
Post a new post during the month of October on your blog (if you don’t have a blog, you can still participate, see below)
Post your pink food by Midnight EST on October 31
Include the logo and link back to this post in your post (please upload to your own server)
Email me at Jen[at]beantownbaker[dot]com – include:

Your name
Name of your blog
Link to your post
Picture (or permission to pull one out of your post)

If you don’t have a blog and would like to participate, just send me your information to be entered.

As always, I’m offering a giveaway along with the challenge to one lucky participant. I will be choosing one of the participants at random and making a $100 donation to a charity of their choice. It can be breast cancer related or not.

Feel free to follow along on Twitter or Instagram by using #powerofpinkchallenge too!

Three ingredients? Amazing, I can’t wait to try this for myself!

  If you make it, let me know what beer/fruit combo you use. I can’t wait to try different combinations.

I just made it last night and used frozen strawberries and Shock Top Honeycrisp Apple Wheat. Amazing!!! So creamy without any dairy. I’ll be posting the recipe on my site next week.

  First of all, I haven’t had that beer, but it sounds tasty on it’s own. I’m sure it was delicious with the strawberries in this sorbet. So glad you enjoyed it. Let me know when your post goes up!

  I loved it too. Even though when you say Strawberry and Beer Sorbet people kind of look at you like you’re crazy….

This sounds awesome and I know my husband would love it but we don’t have an ice cream maker. Is there an alternative way to make it?

  I haven’t made it without an ice cream maker… Here’s an article from David Lebovitz on how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2007/07/making-ice-crea-1/

I work in a brewpub in Boulder. I’m gonna try this out with fresh peaches, honey, and a strong belgian golden ale. I’ll let you know how it goes.

  Oh man – that sounds awesome. I have a TON of peaches in my house right now… I just made a blueberry variety the other night.
