Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mincemeat
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Apple cider
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the unsalted butter to the pan and allow it to melt completely.
Stir in the mincemeat and brown sugar, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the mixture begins to bubble gently.
Pour in the apple cider and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to incorporate the spices evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve the sauce warm over scoops of ice cream, or let it cool slightly before serving for a thicker consistency.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before using.
