About

THE FRENCH sauce sabayon is fashioned after the Italian zabaglione. In Italy it is made with Marsala, a sweet Italian wine, while in France it is made with a dry white wine and often flavored with an eau-de-vie or liqueur. Sabayon can be served warm, cold, or frozen, and is excellent with both fresh and poached fruit.
