Chocolate Rum Sauce, a Valentine's Day Treat

Valentine's Day is Friday February 14th.

This Chocolate Rum Sauce when warm is thin enough for dipping fruit and other foods and for pouring over ice cream. The sauce thickens as it cools but does not harden.

Chocolate Rum Sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. Watkins Ground Cinnamon
1 Tbsp. butter
4 oz. semisweet chocolate (I used chocolate chips)
1/2 to 1 tsp. Watkins Rum Extract
1/8 tsp. grated orange zest

For Dipping
1 pint fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and blotted dry
1 pint fresh raspberries, washed and dried
2 bananas, peeled, cut into 2 to 2 1/2-inch slices
Salted pretzels
Pound cake cubes

In a medium saucepan over low hear, bring the cream, sugar, cinnamon, and butter to a rolling boil. Remove from heat; add the chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts. Stir in the rum extract and orange zest.

Arrange dipping food on a platter. Serve with warm chocolate rum sauce. Makes about 3/4 cup of sauce.

Suggestions:
Substitute Watkins Orange Extract or Watkins Raspberry Extract for the Rum Extract and omit the cinnamon.
Pour over vanilla ice cream for a delicious topping.

Soft Gingerbread Cookies

These cookies are fantastic with a glass of cold milk or a cup of tea or coffee.

They are a simple yet elegant cookie for a holiday cookie exchange. Santa will sing your praises if you put out a plate on Christmas eve!

Soft Gingerbread Cookies
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon Watkins Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Watkins Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Ground Allspice
1/2 Watkins Ground Cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Granulated Black Pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable shortening, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup unsulfured molasses
1 large egg
Turbinado sugar or other coarse sugar

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and set aside.

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and shortening until smooth and well-combined. Add the brown sugar and beat for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in the molasses and egg. Gradually mix in the flour mixture by adding spoonful by spoonful. While adding flour mixture keep the mixer set on low so that the flour does not fly out of the bowl. (Trust me I know from experience!) Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.

Form dough into balls about 3/4 inches in diameter. Dip the top in the sugar or roll the entire cookie in sugar. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing cookies about 1 inch apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges of cookies are firm and look dry. Do not overbake so cookies are soft in the middle. I baked my cookies about 12-14 minutes. Time depends on the size of the dough balls. These cookies do not flatten out much so it is difficult to tell how done they are.

Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

This recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies.

I made these cookies without the granulated black pepper and they were absolutely delicious. Adding the black pepper will make them more spicy.

I found the original recipe at theKitchn.
