This cool rich creamy sauce is the perfect accompaniment for my warm Christmas Carrot Pudding. This is a very old English sauce. It will last refrigerated for a couple of days. It is also very, very good on warm mince tarts.

Step-by-step instructions

    Cook over simmering water, add butter stirring constantly about 10 minutes or until butter melts & sauce thickens.
