With the changing of the seasons, we get longer days, warming weather and… sauce?

So much sauce! March is National Sauce Month and we plan to honor the condiments that enhance our lives, and we want to celebrate with you. The definition of ‘sauce’ is a thick liquid served with food, usually savory dishes, to add moistness and flavor.  But, we think that sauce is a lot more exciting than that definition leads you to think.

A good sauce, savory, sweet or tangy, can elevate any dish or meal to the next level. It’s a make or break condiment that, in most cases, is the difference between a good meal and a great meal. That’s why we have selected 17 of our best savory and sweet sauce recipes, so that you, too, can celebrate and get a little saucy this March.
