Raspberry Marinade Recipes

RASPBERRY MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large freezer bag.
• Add chicken or chops and marinate in refrigerator for 1-4 hours.
• Bake chicken or chops at 350 degrees, basting frequently with the remaining marinade.
• For chops, bake approximately 35-40 minutes (depending on thickness).
• For boneless chicken breasts, bake for 25 minutes.

RASPBERRY DESSERT SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk the cornstarch and water together until all the cornstarch has dissolved. (I just use a fork to mix-very easy.) Combine cornstarch mixture, raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the mixture, lightly mashing the raspberries as they begin to heat.
• Bring to a boil and let it boil for 3 full minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and-if desired for a richer flavor-stir in vanilla extract.
• Press the warm sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds, if desired. I use the back of a spoon to press the liquid through the strainer, held over a bowl. It takes a couple minutes to really squeeze it all out.
• Feel free to serve warm over warm desserts, but it should be cooled to really thicken up. Cool the sauce completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools, but the strained version is still liquid and perfect for drizzling.
• Cover and store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

RASPBERRY HABANERO MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine the chiles, orange zest, and vinegar in a heavy non-reactive pot and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the vinegar to 1/3 cup, strain, and discard the solids.
• Return the vinegar to the saucepan.
• Puree the raspberries in a food processor fitted with a plastic dough blade. (A metal blade will crush the seeds, which will impart a bitter taste to the food.) Then strain.
• Add the raspberry puree to the vinegar and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
• Cool to room temperature and add the orange juice.
• This marinade will keep for 1 to 2 weeks, in an airtight jar, in the refrigerator.

GRILLED RASPBERRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1 cup vinaigrette and half of the rosemary. Add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour. , In a small bowl, combine the jam, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, and remaining vinaigrette and rosemary; set aside., Drain and discard marinade. Place chicken skin side down on grill rack. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 20 minutes. Turn; grill 10-20 minutes longer or until juices a thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with raspberry sauce.

RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE CHICKEN BREAST

• Thaw and wash your chicken breast and place into a glass dish.
• Pour the Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing over the chicken breast until they are just about covered.
• Place in oven at 350 degrees for one hour.
• When done spoon sauce from baking dish over your chicken, rice or potatoes.

FRESH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine raspberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until raspberries break down, sugar dissolves, and sauce is heated through, 3 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and press sauce through a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds. Cool to room temperature, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 45 minutes.
