Publisher's Synopsis
Homemade sauces, salad dressings, salsas, flavored butters, relishes and condiments are a key staple in my home. I rarely buy bottled dressings or sauces. The recipes are quick and easy to make and the taste is so much fresher than bottled items. If you use spaghetti sauce frequently, it is worth the time to make your own sauce. Spaghetti sauces freezes well and are great to have in the freezer for quick meals. All the recipes are quick and easy to make. No special equipment needed and no special ingredients. The ingredients are easy to find at grocery stores and most you probably already have in your pantry. Pesto, aioli, mayonnaise, salsas, relishes, flavored butters, sauces, spreads, dips and salad dressings add flavorful zing to your dishes. Included are sweet, spicy and savory recipes to enhance your meals and snacks. Pesto is so easy to make but can be expensive at the grocery store. A freshly made pesto always taste better than store bought pesto. It only takes a few minutes to make and you control the ingredients in the recipe. My family loves flavored mayonnaise and mustard. We use them on sandwiches or in dips. Some are great over grilled or cooked meats and served with fresh or cooked vegetables. Specialty relishes and condiments have gotten so expensive at the grocery store. They are easy to make and will keep refrigerated for several days to several weeks. Relishes are also a great way to use up fresh produce in your refrigerator. Flavored butters can be used on most anything. Sweet and savory butters are included. Use on potatoes, vegetables, cooked meats, pancakes, waffles, muffins, biscuits, breads and more.
