Raspberry Balsamic Chicken
Ever had so much of something that you don’t know what to do with it all? We seem to have an abundance of raspberries. I often find myself trying to incorporate raspberries into recipe that I normally wouldn’t. This recipe started as a variation on a barbecue sauce. I thought that the acidity of the raspberries would blend well with the balsamic vinegar. I quickly discovered that it needed some sweetness, and the honey did the job well. I have used this sauce on chicken, but I assume it would work equally well on pork. You can definitely taste the raspberries in the finished product, which is really what I was going for. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
