Condiments & Sauces

A dish, whether a roasted chicken or a pile of French fries, is typically the star of the show, but a condiment or sauce is a critical supporting player, delivering welcome added flavor. Condiments and sauces can be smooth or slightly chunky—syrups, dressings, or pastes—and are often used as toppings, marinades, or rubs. You can craft them from almost any fresh fruit or vegetable, with tomatoes, peppers (capsicums), apples, berries, and stone fruits among the most popular choices.
