Not the greatest feeling; being the last to know... Well, not really the last, but who wants to pour a jar of oozy gooeyness called, "Duck Sauce" onto anything, let alone a Duck without actually knowing its FREE of actual Duck. *embarrassed face*
If you are an even LATER bloomer than me, Duck Sauce is a yummy sauce that I never actually tasted bought, because sometimes jars scare me, BUT have no fear it is one of the easiest homemade sauces. Duck Sauce can be used as a sauce over rice, as a marinade for chicken, fish and even certain meats, altered a tiny bit, it makes a great salad dressing. Its a Chinese Style condiment and now I present you my version.
What You'll Need:
Makes Nice Size Jar.
- 1 Cup Apricot Preserves (You can make your own if you have extra fruit and time)
- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Full Tbsp Minced Ginger
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 4 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 3 Cloves Crushed Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 Tsp Crushed Chili (For Picante' Lovers)
For those of you have hand blenders, I use them for almost all my sauces, so practical. Place all your ingredients in a bowl and Mr. Hand Blender will do the rest. If you don't have one, totally OK just use your regular blender or food processor to give it a smooth unified consistency. Your done. How easy?
If your making chicken, fish or meat I highly recommend marinading everything for a nice hour before cooking.
For the Drummettes below, In the morning I just poured my sauce over a bowl of Drummettes, quickly massaged this sauce onto the wings, covered my bowl and totally forgot about them until about half an hour before dinner, Preheated the oven to 375 degrees F, placed the Drummettes on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper (to prevent the wings from sticking onto my sheet, plus makes clean up time so much easier) and into the oven for a nice 30-40 minutes. Side with some Rice, Vegetable Stir Fry or some Fresh Salad.
