     Title: Gingersnap Gravy
Categories: Sauces, Chilies, Citrus
     Yield: 6 Servings

MMMMM-------------------------SEASONINGS------------------------------
     1 ts Black pepper
   1/2 ts Salt
   1/2 ts White pepper
   1/2 ts Ground ginger
   1/2 ts Dried thyme leaves
   1/4 ts Rubbed sage
   1/2 ts Ground cayenne pepper
   1/4 ts Ground cumin

MMMMM---------------------------GRAVY--------------------------------
     2 tb Chicken, pork, or beef fat
     2 tb Unsalted butter
   3/4 c  Fine chopped onions
   1/2 c  Fine chopped celery
   1/2 ts Minced garlic
     6 c  Chicken stock (not broth)
     1 c  Pan drippings from chicken
     8    Gingersnap cookies
     1 ts Light brown sugar; or more
     1 ts Ground ginger; or more

 Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
 Melt the fat and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When
 almost melted, add the onions, celery, and garlic; saute 5 minutes,
 stirring occasionally.

 Stir in the seasoning mix and cook 5 minutes more, stirring
 occasionally. Add the stock and pan drippings; bring to a boil over
 high heat and boil rapidly until liquid reduces to about 1 quart,
 about 25 minutes.

 Then crumble the gingersnaps into the stock mixture and whisk with a
 metal whisk until they are dissolved.

 Continue cooking 10 minutes, whisking frequently and making sure the
 gingersnaps are thoroughly dissolved. During this time, taste the
 gravy; if the ginger flavor is not pronounced add the 1 tablespoon
 brown sugar and the 1 teaspoon ginger or add both to taste. Strain
 the gravy.

 Makes 2-1/2 to 3 cups.
