2. Grilled Lamb Chops and Salsa Verde

3. Fruit Salsas

4. Spring Alfredo

5. Raspberry Crumble Bars

Fruit desserts should be on your menu this season! Increase check averages with dessert additions that customers can’t refuse. Our Raspberry Habanero sauce brings just a tickle of heat to a raspberry dessert. Rather than using a lot of fresh or frozen fruit to cook down into a sauce or jam, you can use our sauce to make dessert fillings a breeze. For example, if a recipe calls for 2 cups of fresh fruit in a pie or bar filling, we like to use 1 1/2 cups of our raspberry sauce and just a 1/2 cup of fruit to add texture.
