Mrs Hanrahan's Sauce

Tags: sweet, sauce, port, Christmas, English, waiting

This recipe is so delicious that people frequently ask to have more plum pudding just so that they have an excuse to eat lots more of the sauce.

Sainsbury Magazine, Christmas 1998. Serves 10-12. 6 steps

110g butter	melt	Refrigerate. When wanted, fold in cream.
225g soft dark brown sugar	stir in, allow to cool slightly
65ml medium sherry	whisk in
65ml port	whisk in
850ml double cream	lightly whip

This makes a large quantitiy, but the base will keep for several weeks in the fridge, so you can use a little at a time, adding whipped cream to taste.
