LEMON AND ALMOND SAUCE

LEMON AND ALMOND SAUCE

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 T. cornstarch
  • 1/8 t. salt
  • 1/8 t. nutmeg
  • 1c. boiling water
  • 2 T. butter
  • 1 1/2 T. lemon juice or almond flavoring to taste

Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, and nutmeg; gradually add water and cook over low heat until thick and clear. Add butter; blend thoroughly. Add either lemon or almond flavoring.
See note below.

Note: This is the sauce for the plum pudding that I make at Christmas. I put more flavoring in than the above. I usually double the recipe, then divide it, and put the lemon in one-half and the almond in the other half.
