Cooks tips

Cooks tips

  1. To make ahead: prepare the chilli peach caramel sauce the day before. Cool and chill.

    To use: bring to boil and continue as above.

  2. This recipe works equally well with Mirabelle Plum , Apricot Conserve or Apricot Compote if you don't have peach. The chicken is also delicious served cold with salad or torn into fine shreds and served in wraps with soured cream and chives.

  3. Another alternative is to try this recipe with 450g king prawns.
