Lately I have been making lots of things involving roux and gravy-type stuffs. Some recipes called for Kitchen Bouquet, a gravy browner, which is found at regular grocery stores...except mine! I searched high and low and decided to make some from scratch. Yay for internet!
The more I learn to cook, the more I like knowing about ways to create store-bought items at home. Now I can add Kitchen Bouquet to the list. I used this recipe and stored it in a glass jar, ready for gravy-making!Kitchen Bouquet:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups water
Put brown sugar in a pan on a slow fire and let it burn or parch, slowly stirring all the time.
When it turns a dark brown, add water and stir well, and then bottle. Use a few drops at a time to color and thicken gravies and soups.

I LOVE kitchen bouquet! I'll have to try this.
It's great when you can skip processed stuff and DIY!
What a cool idea! I've never heard of kitchen bouquet, but I am really intrigued now.
That makes me want some gumbo! It looks delish! Thanks for linking me up to your blog! That's fantastic. I got your note yesterday and I thank you! Reading it made me want to come sit in Forsythe and watch the trees. Also, I took belly dancing before and after pregnancy. Not only is it a GREAT workout, it's so much fun & sensual. When is San Fran?
