I want to make a sauce out of a jelly


Recommended Posts

So I need to liquify it.  Heating is an obvious option, but then it might gel as it cools.

 

What can I add to it to inhibit the pectin gel..baking soda?

 

Would a little butter also work?

 

Experimenting is an obvious option, but I only have a little bit of the jelly.

I use jams/jelly alot as the sweetener. Heated with touch o liquid I have never had it "re-jel"

Is this for a sweet or savory application?  What is the planned serving temp and the desired consistency?

 

lamb chops at room temp eventually, 120 ish at serving

My go-to dipping sauce for lamb chops is Cherry Preserves (I use Bonne Mammon because I can find it in MX) with a squirt of chipotle molido (pure chipotle, not a prepared sauce with any spices in it).  Then a small squeeze of lime.   You can use chipotle in adobo if a pure molido is not available. 

 

I realize chipotle doesn't suit everyone's taste, but this sauce has been enjoyed by all our guests; we serve it with grilled salmon, pork and shrimp, too.  

 

I personally prefer sauce on the side when it comes to most proteins.

My go-to preserve-sweetened pan sauce (pretty much everything is optional depending on how much you want your preserves to stand alone)

Sauté 2T finely minced shallot, red onion and/or ginger in 2T butter, ideally in the meat-cooking pan

Add 1/4 cup vinegar + 1/4 cup wine and bring to a simmer

Add 1/2 cup preserves, 2T Dijon mustard and 1/2 cup broth or stock and continue simmering to desired consistency. 
Swirl in 1T butter, taste to see if it needs salt or acid and serve.

What flavor is the Jelly? If i wanted to make a sauce out of lets say cherry Jam, i would use frozen cherries to make a thin juice and add that to the jam. But i guess at that point, why not just make a sauce out the the frozen cherries, lol.

 

btw, cherry goes great with Lamb.

Thank you, I will try it.

Edit: I tried it and it was so yummy. :)
