Amaretto Butter Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Add the jam and allow it to melt into the butter. Add the amaretto and blend in. Let simmer for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Parboil sliced carrots (I usually use the baby carrots whole) until al dente, about 10 minutes.
• Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. This can be done a couple of hours ahead of time.
• Heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add carrots, sugar and heat to caramelize sugar.
• Add Amaretto and cook to reduce sauce to a glaze.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Peel apricots with a vegetable peeler, then halve and pit. Finely chop 2 halves and set aside.
• Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook sugar, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Stir in Amaretto (be careful; syrup will spatter) and simmer, stirring, 2 minutes.
• Working in 2 batches, poach apricot halves in syrup at a low simmer, turning, until almost tender, 5 to 10 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer apricots, hollow sides up, to a platter.
• Add crumbled amaretti to syrup and cook over low heat, crushing cookies with back of a wooden spoon, until melted into a coarse purée.
• Stir in reserved chopped apricot and gently simmer, stirring, until syrup is deep brown and slightly thickened. Cool syrup slightly.
• Spoon syrup over apricots and sprinkle with pine nuts (if using). Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large frying pan over medium heat, sauté garlic and onion in oil until tender.
• Add Amaretto, simmer till reduced by half.
• Add chicken stock, simmer till reduced by half.
• Add whipping cream, simmer till reduced by half or till desired thickness is reached.
• Serve over chicken cutlets, pasta, etc, or put into a small pitcher on the table for guests to self-serve. Garnish each serving with fresh chives if desired.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir brown sugar and amaretto into melted butter. Cook and stir butter mixture until sugar dissolves completely and mixture comes to a boil, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Wash salmon and pat dry.
• Place skin side down on foil lined baking sheet.
• Season with salt and pepper, cover with a thin layer of dijon mustard.
• Sprinkle bread crumbers over salmon.
• Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes depending upon thickness of salmon.
• When it is almost done, turn oven to broil, move salmon up and broil for 5 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown.
• Remove from oven. Salmon should easily release from skin. Place on plates.
• While salmon is broiling, melt butter in a small saucepan.
• Add amaretto.
• Cook for one minute.
• Pour over salmon.
• I usually serve this with herb buttered noodles but it would also be really good with a nice rice pilaf.

Steps:

• Heat butter in skillet until golden brown, then saute onion in butter until translucent and barely browned.
• Add shrimp and saute about 5 minutes.
• Add amaretto, almonds and salt and cook on medium heat for another 4 to 5 minutes.
• Serve alone as an elegant appetizer, or over angel hair pasta as an entree.

Steps:

• To make the sauce: Bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a boil in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, mix the amaretto and cornstarch to blend and then whisk into the cream mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. (The amaretto sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
• To make the bread pudding: Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar to blend. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. (Recipe can be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm amaretto sauce, and serve.
