RUM SAUCE TOPPING
By Gloria Pitzer, as seen in… Secret Knock-Off Recipes (Secret RecipesTM, Marysville, MI; Nov 1996, p. 19)
INGREDIENTS:
1¼ cup apple juice
1 cup tea (hot or cold)
4 TB butter or margarine
2 TB cornstarch
1 tsp apple pie spice
2-oz dark or light rum
½ tsp molasses
INSTRUCTIONS:
Bring 1 cup of the juice and tea to boil. Turn heat to low and stir in butter or margarine. Keep on low heat while you put the remaining apple juice and cornstarch through blender, until smooth. Bring apple/tea mixture back to a boil just for 30 seconds, reducing heat at once while stirring in cornstarch mixture, plus apple pie spice, stirring well.
Continue to stir until thickened and smooth. Remove from heat. Add rum and molasses. Serve warm over sliced apple pie or Swedish Apple Pie. Makes enough for 6-8 servings.
