Chef John recommended blending an asian pear into the marinade to help tenderize the meat. I didn't have an asian pear, so I substituted a fuji apple and reduced the sugar slightly. I thought the resulting marinade, and ribs, were…	5 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 11453 views

	Super Skinny Sweet and Sour Chicken by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox This sweet and sour chicken taste sensational. It’s so much healthier than take-out and my family thinks it taste amazingly better!

	Ham Burgers by Stephen Crout I like those ham steaks you get at the supermarket, the big ones with the little round bone. I like to grind them up and make burgers. The ham is quite salty, so I start with a 10-minute simmer in water, then cool down and put through my meat grinder. I suppose one could use a food processor, although the texture won't be as fine or…	1 vote 823 views
