Eh, it was ok. Nothing special. No one in my family raved about it. There was nothing wrong with it but it won't be a keeper for me.

This did not turn out very well for me. It had a bit of a funky flavor, perhaps I did not allow the vinegar to cook long enough?

Excellent dish, especially considering the first time I made it we had friends over for an impromptu dinner party (I had already started making it when they called inviting us out, so we just invited them over instead), so I just had to cross my fingers that it would turn out ok! Lots of flavor and very straightforward to make. Only differences from how it is written were that I had chicken thigh fillets and the preserves were apricot, peach and passionfruit "fruit spread" so might have had less sugar. I used about 1tsp dried thyme instead of the fresh. We served it with jasmine rice and our friends made "Texas Caviar" as the appetizer. Bliss in the mouth!

4.5 stars actually. This recipe was quick to prepare and turned out well. Instead of apricot preserves, I used apricot "simply fruit" which may have been a little less sweet...it had the right amount of sweetness in the end. I also used canned apricots instead of dried which were juicier and may have made a little more sauce than originally intended. I added just a little cornstarch to thicken the sauce and served it with orzo pilaf and broccoli. Make sure to serve this with rice or pasta to go along with all of the sauce.

Enjoyed this recipe - served over couscous. I wanted a thicker sauce so I added a little corn starch slurry to it in the end and it thickened right up. It felt a little heavy on the thyme flavor, but I suspect that is because I used dried instead of fresh thyme (reduced to 1 tsp.). Next time I will probably cut back on the thyme a little more if using dried. Overall, unique, easy recipe with an interesting mix of flavors.

This was not a winner in my household. My husband thought it was too sweet - even after I added the dijon as suggested. I don't think we'll make it again.

I know, I know, I didn’t make this exactly as written, but I got as close as I could. I used canned chopped peaches and peach preserves. And I cut back on the preserves a bit because I didn’t want it to be too sweet. My version was quite good, as I’m sure it would have been using the apricots. Since my peaches didn’t need to soften, I put them in last just to warm them through, setting some aside for garnish, along with a garnish of fresh thyme instead of the parsley. I served this over Brazilian White Rice, also from this site. We both enjoyed this dinner!
