I bought a bottle of peach nectar to drink and when my husband brought
it home he said 'save it for cooking'... so last night I made peach
chicken. Sliced onion and a green pepper and chicken thighs and a
spoon of garlic, covered in the nectar and with some cajun spice,
mixed herbs, and turmeric added. I almost added a can of sliced
peaches to it but decided not to gild the lilly... when it was cooked
I thickened the sauce with some cornstarch and served it over plain
white rice with a big bowl of salad. It wasn't half bad!

I've done similar with apricot nectar. Tasty stuff

This is one of those phrases used a lot, but means the opposite of
what the user intends.

What you meant to say is that it was "almost good", perhaps :)

No, what she meant was that it was really good! It's one of those
mysteriously constructed phrases like "Cheap at half the price"
which means good value for money.

LOL! No I didn't... what I meant to say was that I was uncertain how
much fruit flavour would soak into the chicken, and whether it would
be sweet enough or if I'd have to add extra seasoning and some brown
sugar when it was done... but when I took it out the oven and tasted
it it was just right and all I had to do was to thicken the juice :)
I've had the leftovers for lunch yesterday and today, and there's a
serve left for tomorrow... I mixed the leftover rice into the sauce
and it's soaked it up nicely. yum!
