Living Rawesome Day #184 Sauce for Spinach and Beet Ravioli pg. 150 entertaining in the raw
January 25, 2009
After thinking about what to do with this recipe I decided to not use the wine sauce for the raviolis. I know that I will be serving this to many people that would like to stay clear away from alcohol. I substituted fresh white grape juice for the white wine. I know that the last time I used wine I felt funny after using it. I just have never been able to handle wine. I did try this sauce and it tastes delicious. The blend of pears, grapes and agave is divine. I am sure the sauce with wine would be a beautiful blend if wine was one of my favorite flavors, however, it is not. I figured white grape juice would be the closest thing to white wine.
I am guessing that all wine connoisseurs are shaking their heads, because I think white grape juice would be acceptable in place of wine. I have always wanted to learn more about wine, but honestly I really don’t have room for it in my life right now. I always feel strange when I do drink it, so I like to learn about things that I can benefit.
Needless to say I feel bad that I didn’t follow the recipe exactly. I haven’t exactly followed all of the recipes to a T. For example, I have replaced agave for maple syrup in numerous recipes. But I feel bad about this one for some reason. Anyway, the dressing is really good.
Sauce Ingredients
2 1/2 apples, peeled cored, and chopped
1/4 t salt
1/4 cup raw agave
1/2 cup white wine (I replaced it with white grape juice)
I blended all ingredients in the Vitamix and placed it in a glass jar until tomorrow’s potluck.
It feels so good to be done with this recipe. I wanted to complete this for many weeks. Now I can share it with all my friends tomorrow.
