SWEET & SOUR
Make a sweet, citrusy glaze by
mixing an orange flavoured liqueur like Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge (LCBO 1784, $52.55) or a lemon flavoured liqueur, such as Luxardo Limoncello (LCBO 28011, $29.95) with icing sugar. Use a ratio of 3 to 4 tbsp (45 to 60 mL) liqueur for every 1 cup (250 mL) icing sugar, and whisk the two together until smooth. Drizzle or spread the glaze over a loaf, cake or other baked good that could benefit from a hint of sweet- sour flavour.
› Mix in chopped, dried peaches and Dr. McGillicuddy’s Intense Peach (LCBO 398024, 1,140 mL, $29.95).
sweet flavour, such as fresh orange slices with orange-flavoured Bols Triple Sec (LCBO 527705, $18.55) or cherries with Jim Beam Red Stag (LCBO 18575, $31.10).
