Spicy Fruit Finishing Glaze for Barbecue

A sweet and spicy finishing glaze that's great on barbecued pork chops, ribs, chicken, or ham. We think it's much fresher tasting than store-bought. Can also be used as chutney.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 1 cup

Ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup water
• 2  tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2  tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2  tablespoons honey
• 2  tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1  tablespoon  freshly grated ginger or 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 -1 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

• 1 1⁄2 cups  fruit preserves (such as raspberry, peach, apricot, cherry or your favorite)

Directions

1. 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.
2. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate until ready for use. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
3. Apply as you would barbecue sauce in the last few minutes on the grill.
