Brighten Your Culinary Pursuits with Sarabella's Magnolia Basil-Mint!

I can never get enough ice cream. It is by far my favorite dessert. I am always looking for new flavors, or ways to enhance my old favorites. Now, I found a really great new topping you won't believe! Sarabella's Magnolia Basil-Mint sauce makes for a unique and tasty topping to your favorite ice cream. I had some on chocolate fudge ripple. The hint of horseradish gave my dessert a new and much appreciated kick!
Sarabella’s Magnolia Basil-Mint was CRYING out for some lamb, and who am I to second-guess such an amazing sauce! I love a grilled rack of lamb. I’m always thinking I should have some mint jelly or sauce in the house, but I never do. All that will change now that I’ve tried Sarabella’s Magnolia Basil-Mint. It provided the perfect highlight to one of my favorite dishes. It was sweet and savory and flavorful, all at the same time! I’ll definitely have to keep a supply of this handy… it’s delicious.
I adore Brie cheese, but only eat it sparingly. So, when I noticed that Sarabella's Southern Sauces recommended trying their Magnolia Basil-Mint Chutney drizzled over Brie, I couldn't resist. Oh my...it was a match made in Heaven! The slightly tangy, dense Brie paired with the sweet, yet savory Magnolia Basil-Mint Chutney was absolute perfection. My only regret is that I shared it with a friend...I secretly wished I had kept it all to myself! I highly recommend getting yourself some of this delectable chutney which hails from Jackson, MS.

Sarabella's Southern Sauces boasts of being savory, succulent, and sinfully delicious. If deliciousness is a sin, I better go to confession. I found Sarabella's Magnolia Basil-Mint sauce to be the perfect companion to a sharp cheese, like Parmigiano. The smell of basil hits your nose the second you pop open the jar. The sauce has the perfect consistency for dipping and it isn't until you've bitten down into the crumbly cheese that the taste of mint explodes in your mouth, soon followed by the tangy horseradish. The three flavors combine to bring out all of the Parmigiano's savory goodness. 
My Grandmother and the rest of the family loved mint jelly with their lamb every spring. Now, Sarabella's Magnolia Basil-Mint may just be the replacement at our family gatherings for that green jelly. This is a hearty mint sauce, just sweet enough to please any palate, and wonderful as a base for your own sauces. With a pineapple base, a touch of basil, and a hint of horseradish, Sarabella's Magnolia Basil-Mint will make guests smile. It works with cheesecake, too! And as a different twist on one of my Mother's favorites: as a garnish for a quiche or an omelet. Meat will love having this chutney as an extra added attraction at the table. You'll find ways of using Sarabella sauces just because they're so delectable . Delicious is a necessity at anyone's table, and Sarabella brings delicious in a jar. What could be easier?
