Indian Marinade

Dad and my sister Sierra came to visit yesterday. It was so fun to have them, even if they could only stay for one night. One thing about living a ways away from family - you sure appreciate every opportunity that you get to spend with them! Of course, Jewel had a fabulous time with her 'Gramps' and 'Auntie'.

Dad was kind enough to grill for us - not only us, but the interns from Seth's work too. So we had a delicious meal of grilled chicken, couscous, and broccoli. Here is the yummy marinade we put on the chicken:

Indian-Style Chicken Marinade

1/2 cup plum or peach preserves

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1/2 teas. ground red pepper

1/4 teas. cumin

Curry to taste (I used about a teaspoon - I think!)

2 canned whole tomatoes

3 garlic cloves

2 teas. fresh ginger

Combine in a blender and puree until smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup for basting. Marinate 4 chicken breasts in the remaining amount of sauce for 1 1/2 hours or more. Grill and serve. Caution: It's Scrumptious!
