There’s a creative new culinary product available for local foodies to try. Fireworks Finishing Butters is a Boulder-based business bringing exciting, unique butter flavors, now available on the company’s website, or through boutique vendors like Cured. Fireworks Finishing Butters was founded by local Jessica Pratt Jacobson, a self-proclaimed lifelong foodie. These gourmet finishing butters are a sure bet for offering an interesting twist on any meal or snack.
Jessica’s family finishing butter recipe is now available in three varieties: Classic Steakhouse, Chipotle Tomato, and Ginger Miso, Classic Steakhouse features rich ingredients like dry mustard and tomato sauce. The Chipotle Tomato Finishing Butter consists of roasted garlic and herbs, red wine vinegar, and red chile peppers. And the Ginger Miso variety boasts white Miso, soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi. With a varied spread of natural ingredients, each finishing butter will offer its own unique flavor to any dish.
These high-quality, Colorado-crafted butters are made exclusively using milk from grass-fed, free-range cows and a handful of other choice, organic, and local ingredients. The result is a fresh tasting butter that perfectly complements anything it is used in, and is naturally gluten free. The company claims that it proudly uses natural and locally sourced products in its butters because they’re better for the planet, more sustainable, and healthier for consumers.
Finishing butters can be used as a standalone feature to any food. Use the savory spreads on sandwiches to pack a subtle punch on a classic, like this Chipotle Tomato BLT. Enliven an otherwise standard grilled salmon using the Ginger Miso finishing butter for an Asian-inspired infusion. For a more traditional approach to using a finishing butter, try using Classic Steakhouse on a cut of red meat, substituting it for regular butter in recipes like Steak Mock Frites from the New York Times.
Or, simply add any of these delicious finishing butters to a slice of toast or a freshly baked baguette from one of Boulder’s many gourmet bakeries for a more exciting—and local—snack.
Based in North Boulder, Jessica’s creations are another example of the innovative and fun treats for foodies that come from the Front Range. Supporting this Colorado product will not only enlighten your culinary experience, but also help promote a sustainable environment and local business alike.
