For the baste, the recipe instructs you to combine:
11 ounces peach nectar
1 tablespoon peach preserves
1T low sodium soy sauce
1T minced garlic
1t Dijon mustard
pinch red pepper flakes
in a saucepan, bring to a boil, and reduce to half.
A quarter cup is saved for the vinaigrette and the rest is used to baste the chicken-and-peach skewers as they cook.
My question:
I am making a double recipe for guests this weekend and
I only have 1 11-ounce can of peach nectar (the store didn't have any more when I looked yesterday).
However... I couldn't find any nice peaches either, and bought nectarines instead, so it will be chicken and nectarine skewers.
I had 3 large very ripe nectarines which I skinned and pureed. So I have about 1-3/4 cups of nice, thick nectarine puree.
Since the nectarine puree is so much thicker than the peach nectar, can I combine the two and not reduce the mixture (just mix in the remaining ingredients, and use less of the amount of nectar)? Or should I use only the nectarine puree and not reduce?
Does this even make sense???? What do you think? Should I just try to find another can of peach nectar?
