Smoked Apple Puree
Created by Chef Chris DiMinno, this apple puree will complement his roasted chicken and pork loin (see related recipes at left). Feel free to substitute another type of red apple for the Honeycrisp, such as Pink Lady or Macoun, but don’t use Red Delicious or a green variety. Depending on the size of your smoking surface, you might need to smoke the apples in 2 batches.
