Best Fresh Pineapple And Lychee Chicken Empress Of China San Fran Recipes
FRESH PINEAPPLE AND LYCHEE CHICKEN - EMPRESS OF CHINA, SAN FRAN
When my daughter spent a summer in China, she told me about lychees, a pink fruit they would pick and eat right off the trees. I'd never heard of them, but found canned lychees in an international market and began a search for recipes using them. This recipe intrigued me because of the unusual mix of juices in the sauce (tomato, orange, and pineapple). It also calls for chestnut flour, which I've never used, but I've been told it's sold in World Market, Whole Foods, and specialty food stores. This recipe is from the Empress of China Restaurant in San Francisco, California.

Steps:
- Chop fruit finely or pulse in a food processor. Add to a large saucepan with the jam sugar.
- Cook over a low heat stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add the knob of butter, increase heat and bring to a full boil (a boil that cannot be stopped when stirred).
- Boil rapidly for 4 minutes only, carefully skimming off any foam from surface during cooking.
- Remove from heat, then test a small amount on a cold plate for set, (the surface of the jam should wrinkle when a spoon is pushed through it). If not set, return to the boil for a further 2 minutes and test again.
- Spoon into hot, sterilised, glass jars and seal. Makes 4 medium jars.
