About Sauces, Dips & Condiments
This is the corner of the kitchen for flavor. A spoonful of sauce, a creamy dip or a jar of pickles can turn plain food into something special. Most of these recipes use pantry staples and come together in a few minutes.
Each part has its own job. Sauces and dressings go on top of food. Dips are for scooping. Marinades soak into meat or vegetables before cooking. Pickles and chutneys add tang and keep well in the fridge. Spice blends are the dry mixes you stir into almost anything.
Questions folks ask
What is a condiment?
A condiment is something you add to food after it is cooked to give extra flavor. Ketchup, mustard and relish are common examples.
How long do homemade sauces last?
Most keep a few days in a covered jar in the fridge. Recipes with fresh dairy or raw garlic are best used sooner.
Can I freeze sauces?
Many cooked sauces freeze well in small containers. Creamy dips and fresh dressings usually do not.
Kitchen tips
- Taste as you go and add salt a little at a time.
- Store sauces and dips in clean, covered jars in the fridge.
- Toast whole spices briefly in a dry pan to wake up their flavor.
- Make a double batch of what you use often.
- Label jars with the name and the day you made them.
