Explanation: Beaumé has to do with the density: Baumé degrees (heavy) originally represented the percent by mass of sodium chloride in water at 60 °F (16 °C). Baumé degrees (light) was calibrated with 0°Bé (light) being the density of 10% NaCl in water by mass and 10°Bé (light) set to the density of water.
According to ChefKoch, the Beaumé 30° is the desired temperature of citrus preserves, see link in the discussion box.
Thanks Ramey and the others, I did ask the client for more details, but they didnt answer in time, eventually I wrote "Beaumé citrus sauce", as you said the chef will know what it is. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
I would asume it's a savoury sauce. Who ever would have thought.... good luck and happy translating. I, for one, would leave it up to the servers to explain, the chef must know what he's talking about.
there are four menu groups, the first three consist of meat and fish dishes, followed by desserts. the vegetarian group consists of five options, namely: Marinda tomato Purple curry vegetable mayonnaise Coulis red bell peppers Basil risotto Baked chanterelles/citrus Beaumé Baked courgette blossoms
also followed by desserts, so I reckon the Beaumé is not a dessert but accompanies the chanterelles.
we do not know what "Beaumé" is. He did not mean to correct the spelling (At first, I understood it as a correction, too, just like you did...) but he wanted to say that we already know about this sugar measuring unit called Baumé and that posting this link again is not relevant.
But I agree, all the other links - as far as I see - have the same spelling as in the posted question: "Beaumé". But as they only have "Beaumé syrup" as an ingredient or mention the sugar content of syrup in degrees Beaumé or Baumé, whatever, Phil is right to state that they do not tell us what "Beaumé" actually is.
It might be some kind of dessert made out of citrus fruit. Or it might be a sauce or something similar to accompany the chanterelles. But even if we get more context, it will be almost impossible to find more information, just as Phil has stated. Maybe we should accept that it is hopeless and just go for the obscure translation as Edgar suggested...

There are several BEAUMÉ wines, and it is spelled correctly, considering it is a proper name. I don't understand why you insist on a different spelling when the links give the spelling in the source text.
Sorry, but your references aren't relevant. We already know what Baumé (not Beaumé) is, and your second reference is to a wine called Beaumes de Venise. Kubo: I stand corrected. "Baume de citron" does exist, but I think it just means "lemon fragrance" rather than the herb. Just a thought!
wurden früher als Maßeinheit für die Dichte von Flüssigkeiten verwendet, da eine direkte Beziehung zwischen Mostdichte und Weinalkohol gegeben ist. Ein Most (link is external)mit 10° Beaumé ergibt einen durchgegorenen Wein von ca. 10 vol.-% Alkohol.
In my opinion, we should get more context, e.g. find out if these two things (1. Gebratene Pfifferlinge / 2. Beaumé von Zitrusfrüchten) are served together or if the first one is the main course and the second the dessert (as they are separated by a "/", that could be a possibility).
It says "vegetarian option". So I could imagine, that there are other options mentioned above it. Could we possibly get the other options, please, so we can find out?
Sorry for all the confusing references. You're completely right that the recipe that Ramey Rieger has found is maybe not the description of how "Beaumé" is prepared. I thought so at first, but thinking about it I realized that what you say is correct. The recipe seems to just pop up because "Beaumé" is mentioned in it but it does not illustrate how to prepare "Beaumé". So we cannot know how it is actually prepared. And it is correct that it says "Zitrusfrüchte", so there are not just lemons in it.
(I did this in between preparing dinner and was distracted in too many ways. So I was not fully concentrated as one should always be when posting something. I am really sorry about this and I would like to apologize for wasting your time.) ------ When I read "Beaumé von Zitrusfrüchten", I understand that it must be something prepared with citrus fruit as (main) ingredient.
"Lemon balm" is a herb that is called "baume de citron" in French and "Zitronenmelisse" (not "Baume" or something similar) in German, so I do not see how this could be an option that this German menu could mention it. Is it this herb that you mean or are you thinking of something like a sauce?
Could it be a mistranslation of "baume de citron", lemon balm? That's conceivably something you might serve with chanterelles, which is what Pfifferlinge are.
I actually think there may be no such thing as a "Baumé von Zitrusfruchten". It looks like two concepts that simply don't belong together, like (say) "Celsius of citrus fruits". Is it possible the writer has got something round their neck? I'd query it with the customer myself.
I'm not wholly convinced by the answers and references so far.
The easy answer, as Edgar says, is to be as deliberately obscure as the German. But there should be some kind of explanation, and I'm not clear what this ingredient is.
The recipes you've all posted simply contain the word Baumé (which is the correct spelling, by the way), but they don't tell you what a citrus Baumé is.
"20° Beaumé"/"28° Beaumé": measuring sugar content in syrup
18:21 Jan 13, 2015
There seems to be a method of measuring sugar content with a saccharometer which is measured in "degrees Beaumé, ° Beaumé", cp. "...the saccharometer reading for the syrup should be at 20° Beaumé" ( https://books.google.de/books?id=qRAz0D1VcZEC&pg=PA362&lpg=P... And the same with the "28° Beaumé" (that I posted above). ---------------------------- "Saccharometer A saccharometer is a hydrometer used for determining the amount of sugar in a solution, invented by Thomas Thomson. ... It is used primarily by winemakers and brewers, ... and it can also be used in making sorbets and ice-creams. ... The first brewers' saccharometer was constructed by Benjamin Martin (with distillation in mind) and initially used for brewing by James Baverstock Sr in 1770. ... Henry Thrale adopted its use and it was later popularized by John Richardson in 1784. ..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrometer#Saccharometer
