Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the ketchup, orange juice, vinegar, molasses, juniper berries, coriander seeds, and bay leaves in a large pot and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium, add the gin, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to let the flavors steep for about 1 hour. Strain and pour into three 1-pint jars. Seal and gift with this note: Gift Note: Preheat a grill for direct and indirect heat grilling. Sprinkle 2 to 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts on all sides with salt and pepper. Grill, skin-side down, on the hotter side until the skin crisps and releases easily, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken, skin-side up, to the cooler section the grill. Cover and continue cooking, 5 to 6 minutes more. Slather the mop on all sides of the chicken. Continue cooking, covered, mopping 3 to 4 times more, until cooked through but still tender and juicy, 12 to 15 minutes. Rest 5 minutes and serve.
