- 1 hour to make
- Serves 4
I took the classic combo idea of mozzarella cheese sticks and marinara and took it in a slightly different direction. I LOVE sweet and savory and thought "if brie pairs well with fruits and preserves/jams, why not mild gooey mozzarella? Read more " After some online food dork research, I found that Albany NY is known for dipping mozzarella sticks in a raspberry sauce... awesome!!! Hope you try my unique spin and enjoy :-) Note: if you don't have or don't want to use liquid smoke, just use smoked mozzarella instead for that flavor See less

How to make it
- for sauce:
- In a non reactive sauce pan add apple cider vinegar, ketchup, raspberries, chipotle, liquid smoke and brown sugar. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer.
- In a separate pan, saute onion and garlic, deglaze pan with chambord, add honey. Reduce slightly, so it's syrupy.
- Transfer reduction to pan with ketchup mixture and puree with a hand blender. Simmer until slightly reduced. Remove from heat to cool.
- Bread each mozzarella ball by dredging in flour, eggwash seasoned with a little salt, then panko bread crumbs. Place 2 balls on each skewer and repeat with remaining cheese. Place in fridge for at least one hour or flash freeze for 30 minutes (this prevents cheese from melting too much when fried).
- Heat canola oil to 375 degrees. Fry skewered mozzarella balls until golden brown then drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with black lava salt and serve with Smoked Raspberry Barbecue Sauce and fresh raspberry garnish.
