Rum Sauce

Banana Bread and ice cream with Rum Sauce

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons white or dark rum

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix together the sugar and cornstarch, and stir into the butter. Pour in milk, and cook stirring frequently until the mixture begins to boil. Continue cooking until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in rum. Serve warm.

       Tips

For a richer sauce try using 1 cup of half and half or 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of half and half.

Adjust the flavor by using a tablespoon of vanilla and 2 table spoons of rum

Spice it up with some cinnamon and nutmeg

Use Brandy instead of rum and brown sugar instead of white sugar

Try it over ice cream, banana bread, even apple pie. be creative and toss it over fruit or nuts. I personally can't think of a dessert that this sauce wouldn't be good over.
