I know I use a ton of citrus in marinades for on the grill.... but I really like the idea of a citrus bbqe sauce. sounds great. thanksfor sharing. With grill season here... definatly will betrying it out

If you want a good Florida style barbecue then mix sour orange (Seville) juice half and half with cooking oil (I prefer peanut for this) and use that as your basting sauce while the meat slow cooks on the grill.

The last ten or fifteen minutes before you take the meat off the fire you can then brush on whatever barbecue sauce you like.

Justjoan:

Betty:
I really would like to know how do you use citrus (and kinds of) for your BBQ marinade.
Please. I am very interested of new things.
I have so many citrus and lemons and apples during season. This will help me to put them to good use.
Benny

Alan:
Is there a substitute for Seville sour orange or close to it?
How about a Key lime or Calamondin?

There is a recipe for Sudachi sauce and heard it is very expensive sauce, so I budded a Sudachi last fall. I think you can search the net for Sudachi sauce recipe. I'm not interested at the moment, my fruits will be about 2 seasons away.

Benny... I have a ton of amazing citrus recipes, marinades, salads, drinks... all great, I'll get a few more posted in the next couple days

One of my fave citrus marinades... works good for seafood and chicken

1/2 red onion, finely minced
1 jalepeno fincely mined (DEseeded)
juice of 1 lime
juice of 1 lemon
juice of 1 orange
1/2 cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic finely minced
1/2 cup cilantro finly chopped


Just mix it all together. I keep my chichen in over night or arounds 12 hours, seafood, less than 3 hours... or it'll start cooking the seafood and make it mushy

Betty:
Aha!!!!!
It so happens that I have all of the ingredients that you listed.
And guess what what we will have for supper tomorrow?
Thanks so much.
Benny
Also I'll be awaiting for your other recipes if at all possible.

Justjoan:
I marinate the chicken and some steak with the marinate above and today, Sunday, I cook them. Everybody loves it including my sister-in-law and her kids. There was no salt in the recipe but I added them to my liking.

Alan: Thanks for answering and I am saving everything I read in here and you guys can be sure I am going to try most of them.

Benny

Justjoan:
Please tell me what is an ancho chile or is there a substitute for it?

benny,

an ancho chili is a milder 'hot' pepper. you can use any of the hot peppers as a replacement... like a jalepeno. I'd look for ancho peppers though, you prolly could find them at most markets in your area. they are quite good.

but like I said, you can use any pepper you'd like
