Orange Rosemary Jelly Recipes

RED CURRANT, ORANGE AND ROSEMARY GLAZE

Steps:

• Sauce -- In a small pot, add the orange juice, butter, and rosemary and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until reduced by approximately half, this should take about 5 minutes. Remove the rosemary sprigs. Add the jelly and whisk well to combine. Continue to simmer another couple of minutes just to heat through.
• Just brush or baste on your meats or chicken as it bakes or grills. I often just season my meats or poultry with salt and pepper and then baste often. I treat the glaze very much like a BBQ sauce.
