"grand marnier" news and stories

The advantage of using Grand Marnier in cooking is that the miniature bottles are readily available (at least they are in the UK). This sauce recipe was given to me by a trainee chef I know with the suggestion it is served with créme brûlée, poached fruit or a steamed pudding. I can't wait to give it a try...

Marmalade-Liqueur Sauce

• 15g marmalade orange, lime or tangerine
• 2 teaspoons water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-based liqueur

In a saucepan combine the first three ingredients. Bring to the boil over a moderate heat then reduce heat and simmer gently for just a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. If serving hot, stir in the Grand Marnier and serve immediately or allow to cool a little before adding the liqueur and serving.
