Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups apple cider
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cups raisins
- 1 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a light roux. Be careful not to let it brown.
Gradually pour in the apple cider while whisking to prevent lumps. Heat the mixture until it begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until fully combined.
Add the raisins and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the raisins are plump and tender.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar and salt. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm over roasted meats, vegetables, or desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
