Spicy Fruit Finishing Glaze For Barbecue Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Combine the peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, mustard, garlic and jalapeno in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1/2 cup.
• Preheat the grill. Brush the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes. Brush both sides with the peach glaze and continue cooking until done, an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill and grill for 2 minutes. Turn over, brush with the reserved 1/2 cup of peach glaze and grill until the peaches are soft, 3 to 4 more minutes.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.
• Start roasting chicken as per your normal preferred method, don't glaze the chicken at the start because the skin will burn.
• Brush the glaze over the chicken when there is 30-45 minutes cooking time remaining. I normally do it with 45 minutes for a fairly dark crispy skin but you may prefer 30 for a lighter colour.

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.
