Sauce - a flavored liquid blend of ingredients that adds flavor and enhances the
appearance of the food.
Fudge - a soft confection made of butter, sugar, chocolate.
Sauces can give an entirely different appearance, flavor, color, and moisture to
desserts.
Storage of Sauces
Sauces should be kept in airtight containers and stored in a cool dry place away from
moisture, oxygen, light and pests. Food made with starches that contain egg, milk,
cream and other dairy products are prone to bacterial contamination and to food- borne
illness. Sauces made with these ingredients should be kept out of the temperature
danger zone. Thickened sauce should also be prepared, served and stored with
caution. These products should be stored in the refrigerator and never left to stand at
room temperature too long.
