Raisin Beer Sauce
Combine
¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch salt
Stir in:
1 cup “stale” (=take the cap off an hour or so ahead of using) beer
¼ cup raisins (use currants, if you have them; don’t bother to go buy them for this)
In a spice ball, tea ball, or cheesecloth bag, place
8 whole cloves
1 two-inch stick cinnamon
Cook and stir for about 10 minutes. Then add:
1 tablespoon butter
Remove the spices.
Serve the sauce very hot; it congeals as it cools.
Yield: About 1 ½ cups
