Sauce:
3 cups chicken or veggie stock
1.5 cups maple syrup
1 cup bourbon
½ stick butter, (more if bigger butter flavor is desired)
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
½ bunch sage (just through it in no need to mince)
salt and pepper to taste
Add all ingredients in a heavy bottom sauce pan and bring to a boil reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
If sauce is to thin, add cornstarch dissolved in water and bring back to a boil than simmer for at least 15 minutes more to rid the sauce of the cornstarch flavor
Remove sage leaves and serve.
Well, I had a catering gig this week and was tired of all the old recipe's....so as I am wont to do, I decided to make something I have never made, but the idea was to good to pass up...... Pecan/Panko crusted Chicken breasts and the same with Tofu, but that was not enough so I thought I needed a sauce to go with it "hmmmmm" Bourbon/Maple sauce with sage as a back note. This time I made an extra piece for myself and ate it real quick while preparing to deliver......I was more than happy....but still what would my quests think? I did not have long to wait. Success was on my side again......very rewarding! So here it is, well the sauce at least...yes as usual I did not have the recipe on paper yet and this is as far as I have gotten.
Only because one of the guests was from NY and he had asked if I would be willing to give up the sauce recipe as usual I am flattered, and amazed that I cooked something from my head and made at least 30 people's palate very happy....oh yes, and of course I told him to just give me an email address prior to his leaving and I would send him the recipe, he was back in a flash with his card :D
