Yield Makes about 2 cups each

Number Of Ingredients 15

Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
10 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate,
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Butterscotch-Pecan Sauce
1 cup pecan halves
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Scotch whiskey
3/4 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • For chocolate sauce:
  • Stir water and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil; 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mix in instant coffee granules. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Stir in cream, vanilla and salt. Cool slightly. Transfer to 2-cup jars. Seal tightly. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead; refrigerate.)
  • For butterscotch sauce:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Place pecans on cookie sheet. Toast until fragrant and just beginning to brown, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Stir sugar and Scotch whiskey in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil. Boil without stirring until mixture is deep amber color, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in cream (mixture will bubble up). Return to boil, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, salt and pecans. Cool sauce slightly. Transfer to 2-cup jar. Seal tightly. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead; refrigerate.)

This sauce is a great way to add some extra flavor to your favorite dishes. I especially like it on grilled chicken or fish.

This sauce is a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll try thinning it out with some water next time.

I'm not a big fan of this sauce. I found it to be too sweet and tangy.

This sauce is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think it would be great on tacos or burritos.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out too thin. I think I'll have to reduce it for a longer period of time next time.

This sauce is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of honey to balance out the flavors next time.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this sauce, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's got a nice smoky flavor that really complements the grilled meats I served it with.

I love the combination of flavors in this sauce. The sweetness of the tomatoes and the tanginess of the vinegar balance each other out perfectly. I also appreciate that this sauce is so easy to make. I can whip it up in just a few minutes.

This is the best black and tan sauce I've ever had! It's so flavorful and rich, and it goes perfectly with my favorite grilled meats and seafood. I'll definitely be making this sauce again and again!
