Jezebel Sauce



Jezebel Tea Sandwiches

You will need:

    1 jar of Taste of Gourmet Jezebel Sauce
    4 ounces of cream cheese
    Slices of whole wheat sandwich bread

Place the cream cheese in a bowl to soften. Mix Jezebel Sauce into the cream cheese until it is a good consistency to spread. Spread the Jezebel mixture on the bread right to the edges. Trim the crusts, stack prettily on a plate and serve! (To keep any finger sandwich fresh for several hours, layer the sandwiches into a box or storage pan with waxed paper between the layers. Cover the top with waxed paper and then plastic wrap. Cover the top of the plastic wrap with wet paper towels - then more plastic wrap! They will stay moist in the refrigerator!)


Jezebel's Delight

You will need:

    1/2 cup Jezebel Sauce
    1 envelope gelatin
    12 oz. cream cheese
    1/4 cup cold water
    4 oz. butter
    1/2 cup golden raisins
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/2 cup sliced toasted almonds

Mix cream cheese, butter and sour cream in a mixer. Add Jezebel Sauce and mix well. Soften gelatin in the 1/4 cup of water and then dissolve the gelatin by holding it over very hot water. Add the gelatin to the cheese mixture and stir. Then add raisins and almonds. Put into a mold that has been very lightly oiled and refrigerate. Jezebel's Delight will freeze perfectly! So double it and be ready for two parties! Serve with crackers!


Ham Bites Dipped in Jezebel Sauce and Sesame Seeds

You will need:

    1 jar of Jezebel Sauce
    1 cup of sesame seeds, toasted
    bite size pieces of ham (or very lean cooked roast pork) toothpicks

Cut your ham into small pieces and put each onto a toothpick. Spread the sesame seeds on a baking pan and toast in a 300 degree oven for about 15 minutes. (You can keep the toasted sesame seeds tightly covered for months.) The day of the party, dip the end of each piece of ham into the Jezebel Sauce and then immediately into the toasted sesame seeds. Set the bites onto your serving platter that has been lightly sprinkled with sesame seeds and cover until ready to serve.

A super easy variation of this is to put the cut pieces of ham directly onto the serving platter with a bowl of toothpicks, a bowl of Jezebel Sauce and a bowl of sesame seeds, and let everyone do their own! Just garnish your platter nicely with parsley around the bowls and enjoy your party!


Chicken Nuggets with Jezebel Sauce

You will need:

    1 Chicken Breast per person (cut into bite size pieces)
    1 cup of flour (or more) in a bowl
    1 egg beaten in a bowl
    Vegetable oil for frying
    1 jar of Taste of Gourmet Jezebel Sauce

(You can use frozen chicken nuggets and prepare as directed.) For fresh nuggets - dip the raw chicken into the flour, then into the egg, then back into the flour. Set aside to dry or put directly into the fryer. Fry until golden brown. Drain and serve with Jezebel Sauce for dipping! You can do Fish Fillets the same way! Great quick meal or snack!


Jezebel's Potato Salad

You will need:

    16 to 20 small new red potatoes (4 or 5 per person)
    1 tsp. Salt
    1 jar Taste of Gourmet Jezebel Sauce
    6 green onions, chopped

Place the clean new potatoes in a pot of water deep enough to cover the potatoes. Do not peel the potatoes. Add the salt. Bring the water to a boil and let it continue to boil for about 5 minutes. Take the pot off the heat and let the potatoes cool in the water. Drain the potatoes and let them dry before placing them in a bowl. Add the green onions and half of the Jezebel Sauce. Toss the salad gently to lightly coat the potatoes. Taste a bit and add more Jezebel if desired. Make a day ahead and refrigerate.
