    This sauce is very easy to make and is lovely but a bit too sweet for our taste - maybe I'll cut down on the sugar next time

    Made this to go in my Christmas hampers for the family and substituted the whisky for rum. Absolutely yummy, was a big hit especially with the Christmas pudding. Will definately be making again.

    I'd love to make this for my dad for Christmas but was also wondering how long it would store for and how. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!
