Made this to use in your recipe #394323, & also had it over frozen yogurt! Definitely a winning recipe, & next time I'll be doubling the recipe amounts! Very, very flavorful! Thanks much for sharing it! -
This is a great sauce. My currant jelly never really set up and was more syrup like so it worked perfectly for this sauce. I served this with Recipe#205552 on day one and had on pancakes the next morning.
