As some of you know I will be teaching a series of 4 smoking classes over the next 5 months. In October I am teaching an Introduction to Smoking Meat class. Novemebrs class with be Smoking Poultry. Then in January it will be Pork and February will be Beef. The Chef form the business that is hosting the class asked me to do something with mandarins since they will be in season. So with the task in front of me I stated experimenting today.
I made Mandarin Orange Barbecue Sauce and like the initial taste but it had a bitter after taste. I am thinking it is the pith and the skin on the actual mandarin meat maybe?
Would love some input from the peanut gallery oops I mean you great people here. I have posted the recipe I cam up with and if anyone can make and suggestions I would appreciate it. My first thought is to actually skin the mandarin meat then cut it up . or just use mandarin juice and some zest. all input appreciated.
1 can (10 1/2 ounces) condensed tomato soup
1/4 cup dark brown sugar Splenda
1 Mandarin Cut in Small pieces
2 Mandarins pulverized in the food processor
1/2 cup bottled Italian dressing
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh onion
3/4 teaspoon salt plus
1 garlic glove minced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Place all the ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan. Heat over
medium heat, stirring occasionally,until the mixture is heated through.
I then let it simmer for 15 minutes to reduce
thank you in advance for the input
