School’s almost out, the days are growing longer, and the call of the grill on a warm evening seems louder than ever. Just to be outside cooking is a thrill, but the flavors from the smoke and flame go hand-in-hand with my idea of the perfect gluten free summer meal. For my first grilling recipe of the summer, I’ve paired the surprising tastes of two of my favorite but polar opposite cooking sauces (that also happen to be naturally gluten free): sweet apple butter and spicy Sriracha — this apple butter and sriracha marinade is something special!
This homemade hot and sweet marinade would make anything on the grill scream with flavor and the sugars help to caramelize protein or veggies for delicious intensity around the edges.
Can you tell I’m totally loving this new recipe? I’m sure it would be equally delicious on chicken or anything else you choose, really, so mix it up and add this easy marinade to your summertime recipe box!*
Apple Butter & Sriracha Marinade
Ingredients
Spicy Apple Butter & Sriracha Marinade
- 1/2 cup apple butter
- 2 Tbs. Sriracha
- 1/2 Tbs. fresh lime juice
- 1 Tbs. avocado oil (or other high heat oil of choice)
- 2 lbs. protein or vegetables of choice to grill
- Lime wedges for garnish
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Whisk together ingredients in a small bowl. Brush on shrimp, scallops, chicken, etc. Place on oiled platter, cover and refrigerate until ready to grill.
Preheat grill to medium/high (approximately 400°F). Cook prepared protein or vegetables directly on grill grate or in a platter, as pictured above.
For shrimp and scallops, grill for 3-5 minutes, turning once, or until slightly opaque. Shrimp should be pink.
For fish or chicken, grill approximately 10 minutes, turning once, or until fish is flaky and chicken is no longer pink.
Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro, if desired.
Love this recipe and so happy to see you up and running on your own ! I am about to start my own cheese spread business with investors,,taking note of your “adventure”
One Love..

Oh yes, Kim, it’s quite the “adventure!” SO much to look forward to, which is the great part, and eager to put all this negativity behind me. The community has been so supportive that it’s made the tough parts of the transition worthwhile, even when it gets particularly hard … knowing that there are people out there who support and count on me, keeps me going! I wish all good things for you in your business endeavors, as well!

I’d love to try the bacon wrapped chicken with the apple butter. It sounds delicious! And that pan is perfect for not only grilling but serving to guests as well. I tweeted this as well
That tray is so adorable perfect for avoiding nasty cc on the grill

That does look cool! I shared this with my Facebook friends.
I can’t wait for you to start selling your flour again. We just finished my GF birthday cake my wife made with your mix. We’ll definitely be getting more of that when you start selling it!
I so like that you take the time out to share recipes with all of us. I enjoy sharing them with my friends and church family. They look forward in trying a “Gluten Free” dish on Potluck Sundays. And when asked where is this one from, that’s an easy answer, “JULES”.
Grateful and happy that I found you on line.
Hi Connie, that warms my heart to hear! Thanks for sharing my recipes with your church and friends, and spreading the GF love!!!
