Cider Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup apple cider
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider and broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.
2. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
3. Add the reduced cider mixture to the roux and whisk until smooth. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
4. Add the heavy cream and Dijon mustard to the pan and whisk until fully combined. Let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce further.
5. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve hot over pork, chicken, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!

Verdict:

This cider sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The apple cider gives it a subtle, fruity flavor that pairs well with pork or chicken, while the cream adds a rich, luxurious texture. It’s easy to make and sure to impress your dinner guests.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the sauce over roasted pork chops.
• Drizzle it over a chicken breast that has been grilled or baked in the oven.
• Use it as a dip for roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes.
