Sauce It Up To Bring the Pressure Down (August 16 – August 22)

In this modern era, it’s a paradox that we’ve never had so much time at home; yet, because there is so much domestic work to do, we are in need of kitchen shortcuts. Here are four quick tasty sauces which make any poultry dish awaken with homecooked flavor. Sherry Sauce: Heat 1 stick of butter, ¼ cup of orange juice and ¼ cup of Sherry to enhance a rotisserie bird. Oriental Sauce: Heat ½ cup of orange marmalade, 1/8 cup of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger shavings to enhance your favorite poultry dish. Balsamic Fig Brandy Sauce: Heat 1 cup of fig jam, ¼ cup of balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup of honey and 1/8 cup Brandy to make a delicious coating for your fowl selection. Cranberry Cherry Sauce: Pulse 1 – 15 oz. can of dark sweet cherries (reserving the juice). Add this and the juice to a pot to heat with 1 -14 oz. of jellied cranberry sauce and ¼ cup of Chambord liqueur. Once heated, stir in 1 cup of minced pecans, that have been run through the food processor. Pack the Cranberry Cherry Sauce onto chicken breasts and bake until thoroughly cooked. So much to crow about, because all you really need is great flavoring to make your lifestyle enjoyment so much easier. © Kelly McBride Loft
