Brandy Sauce for Plum Pudding

1/3 - 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cornstarch
dash salt
1/8 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together and add 1 cup hot water. After boiled till clear and thick, add brandy to taste and a little butter.

Put hard sauce on it the other night, and while I'm not usually crazy about putting fat and sugar on top of something that's mostly fat, flour, and dried fruit (sugar), it actually tasted good. The cinnamon and brandy do cut the fat, flour, and dried fruit just a bit though. Both recipes have been in the family for generations. My sister makes and boils the plum pudding.

Hmm, I did dump what was left of the demerara rum in the hard sauce... maybe that was what saved it... you know, one tablespoon, two tablespoon, aw hell, the rest of the bottle...
