STICKY GRILLED DRUMSTICKS WITH SPICY/SWEET PLUM SAUCE



Sticky Grilled Drumsticks With Spicy/Sweet Plum Sauce image

Food & Wine Magazine, August 2008 edition. From Pairing of the Day: August 2008, Great Chicken Recipes: Wings, Breasts, Drumsticks and Thighs. Grace Parisi prepares a wonderfully sticky and nicely sweet glaze of fresh plums and red pepper jelly to brush over drumsticks while grilling. Hot red pepper jelly makes for a spicier glaze, sweet pepper jelly creates a milder one. We opted for the milder one because we made it for the home but we made a batch of the spicier glaze for us and it was wonderful! This is a fantastic and tasty recipe for the grill and the summer.Suggested wine: Juicy Primitivo: 2006 . Serve with the drumsticks, corn on the cob with any of the outrageous butter recipes on zaar, a yummy mixed-greens salad with garbanzo beans, bacon, sesame seeds and a champagne vinaigrette, and then for dessert something chocolate and DECADENT! ;)

1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons ginger, finely grated fresh

  • Reduce heat, and simmer until mixture has thickened to the consistency of honey, 35 to 40 minutes.
