sherried
Cooked with sherry
Sherried describes something flavored with or containing sherry, the fortified wine: sherried consommé, a sherried cream sauce.
The term appears most often in cooking contexts, where sherry adds depth to soups, sauces, and desserts.
It can also describe the characteristic taste profile—nutty, oxidized, slightly sweet—that sherry imparts.
