Pineapple Apricot Sauce Recipes

PINEAPPLE AND APRICOT SKILLET CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the pineapple and its juice and the apricots into a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken into the skillet, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 10 minutes.
• Stir the butter and orange zest into the skillet, then when the butter is melted, pour in the rum. Carefully light with a match, and let the mixture burn until the flame goes out. Stir in the blended pineapple and apricot mixture, brown sugar, onion powder, ginger, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the red and yellow bell peppers, and simmer until the peppers are hot, but still crisp. Remove from heat, and serve.

PINEAPPLE SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk 1/4 cup pineapple juice and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth.
• Combine cornstarch mixture, remaining 1 3/4 cup pineapple juice, sugar, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, crushed pineapple, and garlic powder in a large pot over high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce comes to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and continue to simmer until sauce is clear and reaches desired consistency, 15 to 25 minutes.

APRICOT HAM STEAK

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Cook ham on both sides until lightly browned and heated through. Remove from pan; keep warm., Add 1 tablespoon butter and remaining ingredients to pan; cook and stir over medium heat until blended and heated through. Serve over ham.

APRICOT BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Give it a stir. Bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover it with the lid slightly ajar. Let it simmer for 20 minutes, giving it a stir every 5-10 minutes or so, just to prevent it from burning on the bottom.
• After about 20 minutes, the apricots should be very soft. Using a potato masher or whatever works for you, mash the apricots down if you do not want whole apricot pieces in your sauce. Give it a taste and adjust seasonings as needed (or add more sugar or vinegar to adjust taste). Cover again, with the lid slightly ajar, and continue simmering the sauce for another 20 minutes or so, again stirring every 5-10 minutes.
• If the sauce looks thick enough for your tastes, remove it from the heat and let it cool for at least 20 minutes prior to transferring it to airtight jars. The sauce should keep for about a week in the fridge.

APRICOT PINEAPPLE HAM

Steps:

• Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Score the surface, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Pour pineapple juice over ham.

Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140° and then ham is heated through. Discard toothpicks.

It takes some work but it is totally worth it! It was so juicy and almost falling off the bone when it was done! Enjoy! :)
