Definition: Gastrique

Thanks to blog contributor FoodFiend for suggesting this week's word of the week:  gastrique

A gastrique is a sauce made by deglazing caramelized sugar with vinegar and then reducing. With its sweet-tart flavor, a gastrique is often used as a fruit sauce for meats like duck and venison.
