Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup mincemeat (prepared; store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely.
Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar begins to dissolve and creates a thick mixture.
Add the prepared mincemeat to the saucepan and stir well to combine with the butter and sugar.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously to ensure the sauce is smooth and well blended.
Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all the spices are evenly incorporated.
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken slightly but remain pourable.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or any dessert of your choice. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.
