Pommeau in cooking Pommeau in cooking

Pommeau Sauce: Melt butter and sugar in a pan without letting it colour. Add water and pommeau. Bring to the boil and remove immediately from the heat.

Deglazing with Pommeau : When the food is cooked, tip the Calvados into the pan while it is still very hot, stirring/shaking to combine the Calvados with the cooking residues. Pour hot over the cooked food. Serve at once. Pommeau being a bit sweeter than Calvados, adding a touch of cider vinegar could give a better balance.

Recipes:
Recipes with pommeau: oysters, scallops, rabbit, monkfish, veal, guinea fowl etc.
