BOURBON CREAM SAUCE

This sauce, a favorite of mine to top nut encrusted fish or chicken, is also excellent on roasted potatoes, veggies, or drop a dollop on a pile of seasoned/buttered pasta.



Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 cups heavy cream
1 bouillon cube, beef, crushed(experiment with other flavors)
2 ounces bourbon whiskey

In a non stick skillet over low heat combine the olive oil,
garlic, tomato paste, and the crushed bouillon cube. When the
olive oil and tomato paste have blended and begin to bubble, add
the bourbon. BE VERY CAREFUL because the bourbon should and will
ignite. If it doesn’t, light it with a match. The alcohol will
burn off quickly, in about one minute. Once the flame has
deminished, add the cream and reduce it by half over medium heat.
It should boil lightly the whole time. Stir often. The finished sauce
will have a light pink shade to it and should coat the back of a
spoon. When it does, remove from heat. Use soon.

Honey lemon garlic mop sauce

  While bringing one cup of honey to a boil,take about 15 to 20 cloves of garlic, sliced in half, and toss them into a pint size mason jar.



 Scrub a large lemon and slice it thinly. Toss it in the jar with the garlic.

When the honey comes to the boil carefully pour itinto the jar.

Put the lid on it and leave for at least a few hours.

After it cools, strain it and add 1/3 of a cup of soy
sauce.  Shake to mix.

Use as a mopping sauce on any cut of pork, chicken,beef ribs. Also delectable as a dippingsauce…mm,mm,mmmm…if you like heat add a pinch of  red pepper flakes to the honey.
