Grilled Pineapple-Lemon-Rosemary Marmalade with Manchego for #CrazyIngredientChallenge

By

I love the idea behind the Crazy Ingredient Challenge (CIC); it's akin to the Improv Cooking Challenge that I joined several months ago but have been woefully absent from during the last two months or so. I'll get back to it soon.

In the CIC, we are assigned two ingredients to cook and create. This month, Kelly of Passion Kneaded and Lori of Lori's Culinary Creations are hosting. So, here goes...

June's Crazy Ingredient Challenge = pineapple and rosemary

I was just going to make a pineapple-rosemary marmalade, but we have a Meyer lemon tree that's producing like crazy, so I added them in and I loved the dimension it added.

Ingredients
Grilled Pineapple-Lemon-Rosemary Marmalade
  • 3 Meyer lemons
  • 3 thick pineapple slices
  • 1 T  fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 C organic granulated sugar
  • 2 C water
To Serve
  • Manchego
  • crackers


 Procedure
Peel and slice the pineapple into thick slices. Grill until nicely caramelized. Set aside, then chop when cool enough to touch.


In the meantime, wash and dry the lemon. Zest and supreme the lemons. Place the lemon segments and zest into a large, flat-bottom pan with 2 C cold water and sugar.


Bring to a boil and add the pineapple chunks. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add in chopped rosemary and continue to simmer until it reaches desired texture.

If you plan to can your marmalade, wash and sterilize your jars, prepare lids and start heating your water bath. I knew we were going to use this batch within a week, so I didn't bother.

To serve, place thin slices of manchego on top of crackers. Top with a small dot of marmalade. Enjoy!

    I wish you could send me some of those Meyer lemons through the net! I tried to grow them twice and gave up. But I love this recipe. I never would have thought to grill the pineapple before making the marmalade, it must taste wonderful.

    I'd love this condiment to compliment a great cheese plate.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
