RUBY CRANBERRY VANILLA SAUCE



Ruby Cranberry Vanilla Sauce image

This is almost jam-like in consistency and has such a knock-out flavor from its simplicity. You can be versatile with flavorings (rum, brandy, vodka, lemon, lime, or orange peel) and this can be used to fill doughnuts, cupcakes, cookies, or heated and served over pound cakes or cheesecakes. ...It happens to marry well with French Toast and pancakes (gingerbread pancakes with warm maple syrup, a little whipped cream, a touch of orange zest, and mugs of hot cocoa creates a very beautiful sensation in our kitchen on cold Sunday mornings!)
