Acorn Squash with Apple Filling

Acorn squash is nutritious and delicious, and with this sweet apple filling even the pickiest kid will happily eat this veggie dish! This recipe serves 4.

Ingredients
2 acorn squash
1 1/3 cup natural apple sauce (I recommend Mullen's Apple Sauce)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup raisins (you can substitute dried cranberries or dried cherries, or a combo)
1 Tbs melted butter
1/3 cup walnut or pecan pieces

Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Use a sharp knife to cut squash in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Rinse the inside with water, then place cut side down on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake at 400F degrees for about half an hour. While the squash is cooking, make the filling by combining the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Carefully remove pan from oven and turn over the squash so they are cut-side up. Spoon equal amounts of the filling into each squash half and return the pan to the oven. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes or until the squash is soft.

Zestfully yours,
Gloria

Chicken in Pomegranate Teriyaki Sauce

Here is my version of a recipe created by the makers of Olio & Spices Sauces, using their exotic and mouthwatering Pomegranate Teriyaki Sauce, which is available online from the Carolina Sauce Company. This recipe is laid-back and forgiving in that the ingredient quantities are flexible, so season to taste and don't sweat the details, because the end result will always be delicious!

Ingredients
Boneless chicken thighs or breasts (or some of each)
Olio & Spices Pomegranate Teriyaki Sauce
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Herbes de Provence, or other savory herb seasoning blend such as Big Daddy's Superb Herb Seasoning
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Place the chicken pieces in a bowl, sprinkle with herb blend on all sides, drizzle in a little olive oil and 2 Tablespoons of Pomegranate Teriyaki Sauce and rub everything into the chicken pieces, coating well (yes, this is hands-on!). At this point, you can place the bowl in the fridge to marinate for a few minutes to overnight as desired. When ready to cook, place the seasoned chicken pieces in a nonstick skillet and fry on medium-high heat, cooking each side for about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add more Pomegranate Teriyaki Sauce to the skillet, cover and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Serve over cooked white rice, pouring the juices from the pan over the served chicken.

Carolina Sauce Holiday Shipping Tips

If you shop with the Carolina Sauce Company and want to make sure your orders arrive in time for Christmas, here are some tips:

*We make every effort to ship in-stock orders within 24 hours from the time we receive them (excluding weekends). However, please keep in mind that this may not always be possible during the next two weeks so please select your shipping method accordingly.

*We make every effort to keep our website up to date regarding out-of-stock and back-ordered items. If you order something that is out of stock or on back-order but isn't marked as such online, we will email or call you to let you know.

*UPS Ground is almost always the cheapest shipping method to non-PO Box addresses. Delivery times depend on the distance the package has to travel from our warehouse in Durham, NC. If you're not sure how long a package will take to arrive at its destination, please check the UPS Ground Map and enter our warehouse zip code, which is 27701.

*For in-stock orders shipping via UPS Ground to the East coast or Central US, orders placed by noon EST on Thursday December 17th should arrive in time for Christmas. For in-stock orders shipping via UPS Ground to the West coast, orders placed by noon EST on Tuesday December 15th should arrive in time for Christmas.

*If your order has to ship via the US Postal Service (e.g., shipping to AK, HI, a PO Box, or APO/FPO address), please check the USPS Holiday Shipping Schedule. Please allow at least one extra day for manual processing if your order requires USPS shipping because we have to do those quotes manually.

*On December 24th, UPS will provide regular delivery service for air and ground packages. There is NO delivery on Christmas Day, December 25th.

*The fastest way to contact us during the holiday shopping season is either by email (salesATcarolinasauceDOTcom) or through Twitter by sending a Tweet to SaucyGlo. I'll be checking email and Twitter regularly to answer any questions.

*Ordering online is the fastest way to get your order processed. Phone orders take longer (usually at least 1 extra day) because they need to be entered manually into our system, and we are often away from the phone while packing orders in the warehouse. However, if you must order by phone and get our voicemail, please leave a message and we will call you back as soon as we can.

I hope this helps, and thanks for shopping with us!

Zestfully yours,

Tortuga Mango Ginger Sauce and Tortuga Sweet Heat Sauce are Back in Stock!

If you've been missing the zippy, fruity flavor of Tortuga Mango & Ginger Stir Fry Sauce, or the sweet and peppery heat of Tortuga Sweet Heat Caribbean Pepper Sauce, I have good news: Both of these tasty tropical sauces from the Tortuga Rum Cake Company are now back in stock at the Carolina Sauce Company online store! Made with all-natural ingredients including sweet ripe mangoes, tart tamarind, zesty ginger and just a dash of fiery scotch bonnet peppers, the Mango & Ginger Stir Fry Sauce is wonderful with all sorts of fish, seafood, chicken, veggie and rice dishes -- and not just for stir-fry dishes, either! I like to use it as a table sauce or condiment for fish and steamed vegetables, and also as a way to add some zip to Chinese takeout (it's amazing on lo mein) or leftover rice. You can also marinate shrimp in it, or serve it as a dipping sauce for kabobs and all sorts of fried finger-food. And if you're watching your salt intake or counting carbs, you can still enjoy this sauce because it has only 1 carb and 5 mg of sodium per teaspoon!

If you like a little more fire in your belly, but still appreciate exotic tropical flavors, then the Tortuga Sweet Heat Pepper Sauce is for you. The delicious surprise in this unusual hot sauce is Carambola, or star fruit, which adds a pleasantly tart tang along with natural sweet notes to the rich mustard & scotch bonnet base. This Caribbean pepper sauce is hot enough to please chiliheads, but not so fiery as to hurt your tongue or overpower your food. I enjoy Sweet Heat sauce on grilled dishes, especially seafood and poultry, and it's also good as a burger condiment, an addition to stews and ground beef recipes, and pretty much any way you'd use a fruity hot sauce. And unlike other sweet, fruity hot sauces, Tortuga Sweet Heat Caribbean Pepper Sauce has only 1 carb per teaspoon, so it won't blow your diet.

Both of these Tortuga sauces are currently on sale for only $3.35 a bottle, so stock up for your pantry and for giving as stocking-stuffers for Christmas!

Gloria

Bacon & Herb Seasoned Venison Tenderloin

I made this for dinner last night, and the results were succulent and as delicious as any beef filet mignon I've ever had. Because venison is so lean, the bacon grease keeps it moist and juicy while it broils and gives it an amazing "steak house" flavor which the herb seasoning enhances even more. If you know someone who swears they hate venison, I bet this recipe will change their mind! There's nothing to measure for this recipe - just go by feel - and I bet it would work on the grill as well as the broiler. I always have a little container of bacon grease in my fridge because we save the grease when we fry bacon. But if you don't have any in your refrigerator, simply fry up some bacon (which you can enjoy with your meal or save for later) and use the grease in the skillet for this recipe.

I started with two large pieces of venison tenderloin, from the big doe Greg shot on Saturday. I rinsed off the venison under running water and patted the meat dry. I then melted some bacon grease in a microwave safe bowl, and dipped each piece of venison in the melted grease to coat on all sides. I shook off the excess grease from each piece and then placed the meat on a piece of aluminum foil on my broiler pan (for ease of cleaning the pan later). I liberally sprinkled the venison tenderloin pieces with Big Daddy's Superb Herb Seasoning on both sides, and then placed the broiler pan on the second-from-the-top rung of my oven, and broiled for a few minutes, turning once until done to medium-rare. ***Keep your eye on the oven while you broil, because the bacon grease can splatter and can catch on fire!!***

Broil until just a little less done than you'd like because the venison will continue to cook for a while after you remove the pan from the broiler, so be careful not to over-cook. I removed the pan from the oven while the meat was still rare and I let it sit for a minute or so, and by the time I served it the meat had finished to medium-rare.

While driving to work this morning, it dawned on me that the venison tenderloin would probably also be delicious if made this way: Rinse & pat dry the meat as above, then sprinkle both sides liberally with Big Daddy's Superb Herb Seasoning, and then wrap with two or three slices of uncooked bacon. Place on the broiler pan or on your grill grate, bacon-seam side down, and broil or grill over indirect heat until the bacon is cooked and the meat is medium-rare (or your preferred doneness, keeping in mind that the venison will continue to cook for a bit after removed from the oven or grill). I'll see if we can try this bacon-wrapped method the next time we have some venison tenderloin.

Do you have a favorite recipe for venison tenderloin? Feel free to share it here in a comment!
