What is in a "kitchen Bouquet"?

just wondering. I dont have the proverbial "mix" maybe I can make it with what I have here?

What is in a "kitchen Bouquet"?
Caramel vegetable base (water, carrots, onions, celery, parsnips, turnips, salt, pepper, parsley, spices) sodium benzoate (less than 0.1 to 1% to preserve the freshness).

Reply:its basically burnt sugar
Reply:There is this:


Kitchen Bouquet


1/2 cup brown sugar


2 cups water





Put brown sugar in a pan on a slow fire and let it burn or parch, slowly stirring all the time. When it turns a dark brown, add water and stir well, and then bottle.


Use a few drops at a time to color and thicken gravies and soups.





And this (buy at the store)


A browning and seasoning sauce for meats, gravies, and stews. It's ingredients include caramel coloring, mixed vegetable stock, salt and parsley.
Reply:the correct term is bouquet garni. It is a mixture of greens used to flavor stocks, its made up of parsley, basil and oregano all fresh, roughly chopped, wrapped in cheese clothe and tied. Then simmered int he stock.
Reply:This product is still on the market I just bought some I found it by the A1 sauce
Reply:you don't want to really know
Reply:Years ago we purchased a product called Kitchen Bouquet. It was a very dark liquid in a bottle used to give flavor and color to gravies and other foods. I was not a fan of this product, but I can remember when my mother would be in a panic if she was making gravy and was out. I doubt that this product is still on the market.
Reply:you can also get something called gravy master but i like kitchen boquet better
Reply:There's a variety of different ingredients in it, but usually all seasoning sauces are made up of basic home ingredients, such as basil, parsley, salt, pepper, onion powder, etc.





Try different things, but be sure not to over-power it with too many herbs.
