Cassis, how to use it ?

[oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends]

When I moved, I found a half-full bottle of Creme de Cassis - no idea where it cam from !
I've tasted it, & although I don't think I've ever had it , it seems OK.

I'd like to use it in SAVOURY dishes as we don't really eat sweet things.

I've thought about using it in a sauce for duck instead of Cointreau.
Any other ideas please ?

Pop it in Prosecco, or a raspberry and chocolate trifle, none of those are savoury but they are very tasty 😋

I'll take your word for it.

You can cook it into a sauce with redcurrants or dark fruits to serve with venison or game.

Use it like pomegranate molasses?

I was going to come on and say exactly this! It certainly gives the procecco a little kick..

Thanks for the tips on SAVOURY uses.

You use it to make a Kir, or a Kir Royale.

Would that enhance e.g. a chicken casserole ?

No.

Cassis is a blackcurrant liqueur. It’s not meant to be used in savoury dishes.

No.

Apart from my own idea, I've had 2 helpful suggestions, thanks to
@gototogo & @whereisitnow

Pomegranate molasses is sweet.

It's a blackcurrant drink so any sauce for game or duck or goose. Or a glaze for grilled or baked cheese. Or as a salad dressing in lieu of pomegranate molasses or balsamic glaze as PP. But check the booze content. And those are all quite sweet savoury options!

I would definitely just stick it in cheap white wine for an aperitif.

It's such a very sweet liqueur that I don't think it would work in a savoury dish because it would unbalance it. It's far sweeter than most 'sweet' elements of savoury dishes.

Would you put Ribena in a savoury dish? Because that's it, it's basically boozy Ribena.

A Kir or Kir Royale that everyone has suggested is the best use. (Or pour it over ice cream)

If you drink enough of them before eating the casserole, yes.😛
