Great sauce! I made 2 batches. After the first batch, instead of dipping the pot into cold water, I took it off the heat and gently stirred in the other ingredients. -
This 'sauce' is definitely good over cake & ice cream, but we also enjoyed it spread on toasted winter wheat bread ~ REALLY, REALLY NICE! And unusual enough to be included in my cookbook of gift ideas! Thanks for sharing this keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block]

How I rate recipes:
5 star - WOW! This recipe was really good and exceeded my expectations. I made no or little changes to the recipe and will definitely make it again.
4 star - A very good recipe. I quite enjoyed it, but had to make a few changes here and there. All in all, it met my expectations. I will probably make it again.
3 star - An ok recipe. I liked it a bit, but had to make major changes. It may have a good flavour, but the texture was off or something. Usually I don't make three star recipes again.
2 star - I didn't enjoy this recipe. The flavour and texture was WAY off and so were the directions. I will not make this recipe again.
1 star - I don't give one stars! I think they are too mean!
