Menu Inspiration: Savory and Sweet Combinations

Savory and Sweet = Fruit and Meat

Pork chops with cherry sauce

Cherry Marketing Institute

The acid in fruit is an effective foil for richly fatted meats, and also as a flavor enhancer for fish. Fruit sauces and chutneys add a flavor counterpoint and also offer a “health halo” of good-for-you components, such as antioxidants and vitamins. Classic pairings include apples and pork or cranberries and turkey.

Try some fruits like mango or cherry to sweeten the deal on your menu.
