Raisin Beer Sauce Recipe

From The Joy of Cooking by Irma S. Rombauer and Marion Rmobauer Becker (Plume)

Raisins, beer, cinnamon, cloves, and brown sugar make a delicious sauce for ham or smoked beef tongue. The sauce is served hot.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup beer
  • 1/4 cup raisins, cut in halves
  • 8 whole cloves
  • 1 two-inch stick cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon butter

PREPARATION:

Combine brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in beer and raisins.

Place cloves and cinnamon in a cheesecloth bag and hang from the edge of the pan, submerged in the beer mixture. Cook for 10 minutes, then stir in butter.

Remove the spices. Serve the sauce very hot. Good with hot or cold ham or smoked tongue.

Yield: About 1-1/2 cups
