McCormick Pure Orange Extract, 2 fl oz

I recently purchased the McCormick Pure Orange Extract, and I've been thoroughly impressed with the quality and flavor it adds to my kitchen creations. The extract has a genuinely natural orange taste that doesn't come off as artificial or overpowering. I've used it in various recipes, from adding a citrusy zest to my morning smoothies to enhancing my baked goods like orange chiffon cakes and chocolate-orange cookies. The flavor is vibrant and authentic, making it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. The quality of McCormick's extract is top-notch, consistent with what I've come to expect from the brand. It's concentrated, so a little goes a long way, which makes it an excellent value for the price. The 2 fl oz bottle is the perfect size for regular home use, lasting quite a while even for someone who loves experimenting in the kitchen as much as I do. Packaging-wise, the bottle is sturdy and well-designed, ensuring the extract is kept fresh over time. The cap seals tightly, preventing any spills or exposure to air that could diminish the flavor. In comparison to other brands I've tried, McCormick's Pure Orange Extract stands out for its authenticity and quality. It's a staple in my pantry now, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to add a burst of orange flavor to their dishes without the hassle of zesting or juicing fresh oranges. Whether you're a professional chef or a home cooking enthusiast, this extract is a game-changer.

ingredients: 1 stick butter, unsalted, melted 3/4 cup vanilla sugar 1 egg 3/4 cup milk 1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Orange Extract 1/4 teaspoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract 1/2 teaspoon orange zest 1.5 cups flour, all purpose, sifted 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups cranberries, whole, frozen (use to top batter prior to baking) Cream the butter and sugar, all the remaining liquid ingredients and beat to fluffy. Add dry and mix well. I use this pan also available on Amazon - it works beautifully: casaWare 11.5 x 11.5 x 1.5-Inch (Exterior) Square Multipurpose Pan, Ultimate Series Commercial Weight, Ceramic Non-Stick Coating (Blue Granite) Spread batter into pan. Use the cranberries to place around the top of the "bread". No need to thaw them. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes. (lightly browned, cake pin clean check). Dust with powdered sugar if you like or top with ice cream. We eat it for breakfast... Enjoy - McCormick would approve. Their extract smells like oranges, tastes like oranges and is everything but orange in color (but I think McCormick makes an orange food dye if you're into that sort of thing.) I prefer the clear color - I tend to be a bit of a gooch in the kitchen, so no staining! Enjoy

Exceleny when you need that extra kick , the color and flavor are excellent quality.

Excellent value. I used this extract to make orange cupcakes, the flavor was sublime. Will repurchase.

Very good orange flavor!! I made an Orange cake and Pound cake and this extract enhanced that good orange taste.

Love this for baking (when necessary). Works and tastes great. Will definitely get it again, especially since it's hard to find in the local stores

Tastes very nice. I used it to flavor frosting on an orange cake. Doesn’t have color.

The price is right for this good quality extract.
