It has been a while since I've created a new sauce. Winter fruit just isn't the best for making hot sauces... but there's a first time for everything!
A few weeks ago I was gifted 150 kg of lemons. 🍋
First, I tried making candied lemons. Let's just say it turned my kitchen into a disaster zone, and after all that effort, I wasn't convinced it was worth it. (There will be a few tasters available this weekend if you're curious!)
Next up was a traditional Indian Hot Lemon Pickle. I filled container after container... and somehow I still had mountains of lemons left!
So I grabbed a pile of oranges and decided to make marmalade. As it was nearly finished, I tasted it and thought...
"It's missing something."
One kilogram of jalapeños went in.
Tasted it...
Better... but not quite there.
Another kilogram.
Still not enough.
Then another kilogram!
And that's how a simple marmalade accidentally evolved into an incredibly addictive sweet, sticky, spicy wing sauce.
It's absolutely amazing drizzled over chicken wings... YES, you can order Marmalade Wings at Binary Brew Worx this weekend! 😋
Or, if you're like me, spread it on a slice of fresh toast for breakfast. (Don't knock it until you've tried it!)
Sweet. Citrusy. Sticky. Spicy.
Sometimes the best recipes are the ones you never planned.
Who's brave enough to give it a try this weekend?
