Spicy Fruit Finishing Glaze For Barbecue Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all ingredients until well blended.
• Brush over lamb chops 2 to 3 times during cooking.

Steps:

• Warm butter in saucepan or microwave until just barely melted. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cool, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate up to a week or freeze in tbsp size quantities.
• To prepare chicken or prawns: Place about a pound or pound and a half of sauteed chicken pieces or peeled, boiled, drained prawns into a pot. Add about 2 tbsp glaze to the pot and cook over very low heat stirring often to coat completely. Allow it to caramelize slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Adjust the amount of paste according to how spicy you like your food. We sometimes add up to 4 tbsp for this much chicken or seafood.

Steps:

• Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling. Soak the bamboo skewers in a bowl of water and set aside.
• Combine the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Add the fruit and toss gently to coat with the glaze. Cover and refrigerate.
• Thread the fruit on the soaked skewers, alternating each fruit type. Place the skewers on the grill and cook directly over medium-high heat for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until browned and caramelized. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Place ribs in a large roasting pan. Whisk together apricot preserves, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder until blended. Pour apricot marinade over ribs, cover, and place in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
• Remove ribs from the marinade and shake off excess. Place ribs in the prepared baking pan and season with salt and pepper. Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer marinade for 5 minutes; set aside.
• Bake ribs in the preheated oven, basting frequently with the cooked marinade, until ribs are tender and meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 1 hour 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over low heat, stir together water and the next 10 ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, until onion bits are very soft, about 5 minutes. Add preserves and simmer, uncovered, about 20 minutes. Mixture may appear a little thin, but will thicken.
• Cool to room temperature then refrigerate until ready for use. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
• Apply as you would barbecue sauce in the last few minutes on the grill.
