Beans in a Blanket

  • 8 slices of bacon or prosciutto
  • 12 oz of fresh (blanched) or frozen whole green beans
  • 4 tablespoons of apricot preserves or Sarabella’s Wicked Sweet Chutney

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Clean fresh green beans and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain and place green beans in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and keep the bright green color. Toss green beans with preserves or chutney. Gather a small medium size bundle and wrap with bacon or prosciutto. Arrange bundles in single layer in casserole dish and bake 15-20 minutes.

Venison Tenderloin (or Grilled Duck / Fried Wild Turkey) Dinner

  • 1 Venison tenderloin
  • 1/2 jar “Sarabella’s Wicked Sweet Chutney”

Marinate tenderloin for several hours…the way you like to do.  Grill or bake at 325 degrees for about 25-30 minutes.  Slice and serve with “Wicked Sweet” on the side.  Buttered new potatoes and grilled asparagus makes for a tremendous, easy meal!

Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp OR Scallops Appetizer

(Use a little of BOTH Chutneys for this.)

  • 12 shelled shrimp and/or scallops
  • Bacon
  • Toothpicks
  • “Sarabella’s Wicked Sweet Chutney” and “Sarabella’s Sassy Raspberry Chutney”

Cut each bacon strip into thirds.  Wrap the shrimp and scallops with one piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick.  Grill or bake until bacon is crisp.  Use “Wicked Sweet” and “Sassy Raspberry” as a dipping sauce.
SINFULLY DELICIOUS!

Elegant Lamb Dinner

  • 1 Rack of Lamb / Lamb Chops (marinated the way you like it)
  • 1/3-1/2 jar “Sarabella’s Wicked Sweet Chutney”

Grill or roast lamb to your specifications.  Slice lamb, and serve “Wicked Sweet” on the side.  I like to serve this with fingerling potatoes roasted with Rosemary and olive oil, and fresh asparagus.   DAHLIN, IT’S YUMMY!

Wonderful Pork Tenderloin Dinner

  • 1 pork tenderloin (I like to get the pre-marinated ones if pressed for time)
  • 1/3 jar “Sarabella’s Wicked Sweet Chutney”

Bake or grill tenderloin on 325 degrees for about 35-40 minutes.  Slice and place 3-4 slices of tenderloin on plate.  Serve with “Wicked Sweet” on the side.  I like to serve this with wild rice and squash casserole.
FABULOUS!

Tailgating Ham Biscuits

Bake your favorite biscuits, depending on the number of people.
