PLUM PUDDING SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. This recipe is so delicious that people ask to have more plum pudding just so that they can have an excuse to eat lots of sauce. This makes a large quantity but the base will keep for several weeks in the fridge, so you can use a little at a time, adding whipped cream to taste.
• 2. Melt the butter, stir in the sugar and allow it to cool slightly. Whisk the egg and add to the butter and sugar with the sherry and port. Refrigerate.
• 3. When needed, add the lightly-whipped cream to taste. This sauce is also very good with mince pies and other tarts.
