Gourmet Inspirations’ Salted Caramel Whisky Dessert Sauce Perfect For All Kinds Of Foods
Almost everyone is a caramel lover but if you are one of the rare people who aren’t, get ready to change your mind!
Normally, when you think of caramel, words like sugary and sticky come to mind. Sometimes caramel sauce is so sweet, it is cloying. Well, that is kids’ caramel. Let us introduce you to caramel for adults!
Gourmet Inspirations’ Salted Caramel Whisky Dessert Sauce is caramel like no other. Trade in sticky for smooth and silky; replace sugary with indulgent and decadent.
With hints of toasted cream, a light touch of sea salt and the smooth finish of Canadian whisky, this sauce brings caramel to a whole new level.
While we start making our caramel like all good caramels, with high quality butter and cream cooked with brown sugar, we take our sauce further and add more depth of flavor with the addition of sea salt and a delightful surprise of fine Canadian whisky. Whisky, strong on its own, adds a delicate flavor in this application.
We spell out the ingredients for you in the name of the sauce, but if we hadn’t, you would likely linger, tasting again and again, trying to determine what the “extra something” in our sauce is! It truly sets this caramel sauce apart from all the others.
And talk about versatility! Gourmet Inspirations’ Canadian Made Salted Caramel Whisky Dessert Sauce is perfect for all kinds of foods.
Serve it at breakfast or brunch alongside pancakes or waffles (might we suggest waffle sticks to dunk into the sauce?). Make your beverage a little “extra” by adding some sauce to your coffee or hot chocolate.
Love apples or bananas dipped in caramel? Then dunk them or other fresh fruit into this sauce. Of course, you can elevate so many desserts by finishing them with this Salted Caramel Whisky sauce: ice cream, fruit crisps, pies, cakes, and cheesecakes…. Need we go on?
We have even had customers exclaim that they’d happily do away with any other dessert and drink it on it’s own! Pass the straws, please!
It is clear why Gourmet Inspirations’ Salted Caramel Whisky Dessert Sauce is our best seller!
Ingredients
Water, brown sugar, cream (milk), Canadian whiskey, butter, xanthan gum, lactic acid, sea salt, vanilla flavour.
Misc Uses: Hints of toasted cream, a light touch of salt, with the smooth finish of Canadian whisky. Drizzle on waffles, ice cream, fresh fruit, fruit crisps and pies, chocolate cake, brownies, and lattes.
Enjoy Thick, Rich & Creamy Gourmet Inspirations Creamy Peppercorn Whisky Steak Sauce
If a thick, rich and creamy peppercorn whiskey steak sauce is what you long for, look no further. This is the one for you!
Gourmet Inspirations Creamy Peppercorn Whisky sauce will become your new go to sauce to finish your beef, pork, chicken or roasted vegetables.
While decadent, you will not find this creamy peppercorn sauce to be heavy. The whisky balances and lightens the cream and the addition of peppercorn adds a light touch of heat for a clean finish on the palette.
Most foods benefit from a hint of sweetness to brighten and enhance the savoury flavors. Instead of opting for the easy (and less beneficial) sweeteners such as refined sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, we use molasses.
Molasses naturally contains magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium and B6, among other important vitamins and minerals. Molasses also adds another layer of depth to our sauce instead of simply adding the needed balance of sweetness. But don’t let all this sweet talk worry you! Creamy Peppercorn Whisky is all savory and umami.
When you want a simple, time-saving meal that won’t sacrifice on flavour, Gourmet Inspirations is where you should turn. That is what we are here for! This Creamy Peppercorn Whisky sauce does the work for you.
Cook your choice of meat and/or vegetables, add them to a hot pan, oven or grill to sear it and give it some lovely caramelized color and flavor. Cook it through, remove it from the heat source and let it rest for a few minutes (vegetables won’t need any resting time).
Now you can serve your family or guests a perfectly cooked dish with a perfectly prepared sauce.
If you want to go the extra mile (and make it look like you made it from scratch!), while you are letting your protein rest, add the Creamy Peppercorn Whisky sauce to the pan you cooked the meat or veggies in, and warm it up at a low temperature.
Let the sauce slowly warm up and absorb the bit of flavor left in the pan from the juices and brown bits from the food you just cooked. Give the sauce a good stir and then slather your meat or vegetables with the sauce.
You could also pour the sauce into a gravy boat or other serving dish so everyone can add their own. But don’t blame us if someone starts dipping and dunking their asparagus into the bowl before they get a chance to serve themselves!
Ingredients
Cream, milk, water, Canadian whiskey, rice starch, molasses,, black pepper, lactic acid, sea salt, beef flavour
Act: slather, coat, dip, dunk, layer
Rich, thick sauce with the lingering heat of pepper.
Multi-use Sweet and Spicy Lemon Glaze/Marinade For Everyday Use
Multi-use, diversity, flexibility. Those words reflect great qualities for many things like spaces and furniture. But what about food?
It would be great to have food products that were also flexible and had more than one, or even two, uses.
Well, that is just what we have made in Gourmet Inspirations’ Sweet and Spicy Lemon. We didn’t call it a sauce, glaze, marinade or dressing because it can’t be limited to just one. This flavourful creation is all four in one jar!
This sweet and spicy concoction is wonderful with vegetables and salads of all kinds. You’ll want to use it to marinate meat, poultry, seafood and pork.
Grab a jar and use this lemony delight to sauce your pastas and change-up a stir-fry. We’ve even drizzled some over our avocado toast!
Lemon has always been a versatile juice to use in many ways. The flavorful acid is essential to a good marinade and it is a natural flavour enhancer for seafood and vegetables. Lemon is also a great base for a vinaigrette or dressing for salads.
By using lemon in this sweet and spicy sauce, all of the other ingredients work with the lemon to further enhance the flavor of your food. It makes it sing! But it isn’t just one note!
The rosemary in this marinate adds an herbaceousness and the cracked black pepper gives it an overall warmth; just a pinch of heat to round out the tasting experience. Using Sweet and Spicy Lemon takes the guesswork out of putting together your marinade or dressing. It is all done for you.
So, whether you bathe your chicken (or scallops, or veggies, or….) in Gourmet Inspirations’ Sweet and Spicy Lemon before you cook it or slather it on after, you are sure to bring your meal from average to awesome!
