HARD SAUCE



Hard Sauce image

I remember making this sauce for my mom when I was about 8 years old. I loved the aroma and spicy flavor. Today, many cooks spread cream-cheese frosting on spice cake instead, but I think you're really missing something if you bypass this warm, old-time sauce. -Shirley Joan Helfenbein, Lapeer, Michigan

NUTMEG SAUCE



Nutmeg Sauce image

From a 1930s hand written cookbook from Neligh Ne. She had this written down two times so she used it for something important to her. We use vanilla sauce on pound cake in our family. This sauce is wicked good on my spice cake recipe . It will bump up old coffee cake. Mr. picky was licking the pan. The top part of the recipe was how it was written; at the bottom was how I did it.

HARD SAUCE

This is a buttery nutmeg flavored sauce that is traditionally served on top of steamed puddings.. As the butter melts, the rum and nutmeg flavor seep down into the hot pudding, a very satisfactory state of affairs.
