Port instead of Marsala

Sebastian Dangerfield · 2012-12-13 20:49:05

Im making a recipe that has a marsala cream sauce. I dont have marsala but have a bottle of port; would there be much of a difference if I used that instead?

I wouldn't complain if someone handed me a port sauce

You could also use Sherry, or try white wine with a spoonful of brandy ?

If you think Port sauce would go with the meal (e.g. duck, lamb) then go for it. If it's chicken or pork, sherry might be better - I just think it tends to be lighter than port.

If it's a desert, then depends on your own tastes I guess.

Cheers. Turns out port and cream dont go all that well together with pork!
