Guava or Peach Marinade © ejmorris 2000, 2001, 2002, 2006

revised March 2006

We were given a jar of Guava Jam for Christmas and found that we weren't eating it. T devised this marinade that is wonderful on grilled chicken - but I suspect is good for any kind of meat. The amount here is for one whole smallish chicken that has been butterflied. When the jar was finished, we switched to using some rather inferior peach jam that had been on sale for what seemed to be a ridiculously low price until we tasted it on toast. However, it works perfectly for making this marinade!

Ingredients

• ¼ cup Guava or Peach Jam (any jam or honey will do)
• about an inch square of ginger, chopped finely
• 5 cloves garlic, chopped finely
• heaping tsp dijon mustard (or make your own mustard)
• ¼ tsp chili flakes
• 1 tsp black pepper (or more)
• juice of ½ lemon
• ½ tsp fresh rosemary leaves, chopped finely (another fresh herb could be substituted if you don't have rosemary)
• dash of salt

Preparation

1. Mix it all together and slather on chicken.
2. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours before slow grilling over low heat.
