Now that it is summer, and barbecue season is officially underway, my fiancé and I find ourselves barbecuing dinner at least twice per week. As a result, I finally decided it was time to experiment with my own homemade barbecue sauce...

Marmalade, typically made with oranges, gets an extra zing when made with Meyer lemons. This recipe makes a wonderful sweet and tart accompaniment for toast or croissants, and it can also be used as a glaze for broiled meats or seafood...

The recipe is very simple. You can use either canned or presoaked/boiled chickpeas, and you can vary the amounts of garlic and spices to suit your tastes. Once you get the basic recipe down, you can even add more delicious components.

Start your own Irish American tradition by serving your leftover St. Paddy's Day corned beef on a reuben sandwich complete with homemade sauerkraut of course!
