Note

Use this sauce to baste chicken, pork chops, or turkey cutlets during the last 2-3 minutes of broiling or grilling to prevent burning.

The sauce yields approximately 1 cup. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.

For a smoother texture, you can blend the sauce with an immersion blender before serving, though small bits of fruit from the marmalade add nice texture.
