Cooking With Christie!

This Week’s Recipe: Cranberry Glazed Chili Chicken Wings

This recipe came about because I bought the big bag of cranberries and I needed to find a way to use them before they went bad!

And of course I changed the recipe….but here‘s where I fond the initial inspiration.

First, I added a quarter cup of water to a pan, then put the cranberries in whole – and let them cook down until they burst. Then I used a potato masher and mashed them into a pulpy mass. Whereupon, I put them through a sieve and extracted as much juice as I could.

Then I put the juice back into the pan (a little leftover pulp doesn’t hurt anything) where I added the sweet Thai chili sauce, sliced Serrano peppers and let it simmer. Eventually using an immersion blender to break the peppers down into a finer consistency (a blender works just as well). Then I added more red chili flakes and sugar until I achieved the spice level I was looking for!

Christie: I really ca’t see Poirot loving the spiciness of this sauce or wings. But I thin Hastings and/or Japp would enjoy them. As well as Tommy and Tuppence!
