Getting Saucy with Norlander’s Original Gluten Free Giveaway

What do you do when you have your brand of sauces, but suddenly find yourself gluten free, so you can no longer enjoy your own sauces?  Well, if you are like Tina and Michael Norlander, you take your well-loved sauces and create a  gluten free line.

The Norlander’s understand the challenges of being gluten free, so they sought to create a delicious, safe version of their sauces.  People who are gluten free can now enjoy their own version of the famous Norlander’s Original Teriyaki sauce as well as Mesquite sauce.  (Yes, I said famous because the Norlander’s Original sauce was used to create jerky that went into space with N.A.S.A.!)

One of the unique things about the Norlander’s sauces are that they are in concentrate form.  The sauce can be used straight out of the bottle for a strong, rich sauce, or it can be watered down for a nice marinade.  One bottle of concentrate can be made into three bottles of marinade.

We started out our testing by using the Teriyaki sauce to make a chicken teriyaki stir fry.  I am not normally one for Teriyaki, but the flavor is this Teriyaki was quite pleasant.  The hint of sweet balanced well with the saltiness of the soy sauce.

Our next test was using the mesquite on a small chicken in the slow cooker.  I basted the chicken with the mesquite marinade.  The smokey flavor was mild, but delicious.  I think I would use a slightly stronger marinade the next time around.  Both flavors were a big hit around here.

I will be posting some recipes using Norlander’s Gluten Free sauces throughout gluten free month.  The only negative with the sauces is that they do contain high fructose corn syrup which is something that we try to avoid.  I do know that Norlander’s is working on changing up the formula in order to make it a more natural product.

The Norlander’s Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce & Marinade and the Norlander’s Gluten Free Mesquite Sauce & Marinade can be purchased online for $7.99 each.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be giving away a set of the Norlander’s Gluten Free Sauces to one reader!
