Sauce

A good sauce can take a simple meal and make it unforgettable, which is why I almost always make mine from scratch. My Jamaican jerk marinade is the bold, authentic flavor base I use again and again, and my homemade sweet-and-sour sauce tastes better than takeout.

You'll also find all my gravies here, including Grandma's giblet gravy and my gravy without drippings, plus staples like homemade BBQ sauce and 5-ingredient buffalo sauce.
