Strawberry, Mint & Basil Botanical Hot Sauce
For this bright burst of hot summer in a sauce, I started off with plump, juicy strawberries because they’re tangy-sweet, and flavorful. Who doesn’t love them? I chose mint for its grassy-fresh lift and to offset the berry sweetness. And then there’s the garden-fresh basil! It adds a flavor balance between sweet and savory with hints of anise, black pepper and yes! mint (basil is actually in the mint family). I think that’s pretty sweet.
Perfect as a spicy sauce for chicken, ribs and wings, a topping on chocolate and desserts or a syrup for pancakes.
