A soft confection made of butter, sugar, chocolate. Sauces can give an entirely different appearance, flavor, color, and moisture to desserts.

Includes such products as chocolate sauce and caramel sauce.

These are simply fresh or cooked fruits, sweetened with sugar. Other flavorings and spices are sometimes added.

All are thickening agents except___________________.

The Light sauce is well suited to a simple dessert

Cold sauces are cooked ahead of time, then cooled, covered, and put in the refrigerator to chill.

If the sauce curdles, immediately stir in one (1) to two (2) ounces cold milk, transfer the sauce to a blender, and blend at high speed

Sauces should be kept in open containers and stored in a cool dry place away from moisture, oxygen, light, and pests.

Hot fudge is a delightful contrast to a cold cornstarch pudding or to vanilla ice cream.
