What the AI looks for in Fruit Dessert Sauces
- Fruit first
- Fruit should be the first ingredient, ahead of corn syrup. It decides how fruity the sauce tastes and how natural it is.
- Texture
- Choose chunky topping or smooth purée to suit the use. Chunks suit cheesecake. Purées suit drinks and plating.
- Seeds
- Check whether berry sauces have been strained. Seeds bother some people and look messy when plated.
- Refrigeration
- Refrigerate after opening and use within the time shown on the label. Fruit sauces mold faster than sugar syrups.
Brands that matter
- Smucker's: Mainstream fruit toppings.
- Monin: Fruit purées for drinks.
What to avoid
- Toppings flavored with artificial fruit flavor that list little actual fruit.
