Cajun Gastrique

“What the heck is Cajun Gastrique?” you might ask. At least I asked. The waitress was stumped and came back with “a reduction of vinegar and Cajun spices.” Ok, I thought to myself, “La di da. I’m going to be sorry I ordered Cajun in South Dakota,” but ordered Shrimp and Grits with a Cajun Gastrique anyway!

Sweet Pineapple Mango Habanero Sauce

Sweet Pineapple, Mango, Habanero Sauce

make it once and you'll crave it for life!

We just can’t seem to get spring, here, in Minnesota. March started with below zero temperatures, warmed up to the 70’s for a day or two then dropped back down to a dismal, depressing, cold grey. Now it’s snowing. If I could only go to the Islands! Out of the question, but maybe a few Island flavors will brighten up my day, and yours. This is a Sweet Habanero Sauce. As it settles on your tongue, you’ll think “hmm, what’s all this about?” It’s pleasant and beautifully flavored and…sweet. But wait for it!
