    Word of warning if you have never made this sauce before - try to use cream at room temperature and not straight out of the fridge. When cold cream hits the butter and sugar mix, the butter and sugar just clump together and it's difficult to combine. Just return the pan to a low heat and as the ingredients all reheat they will combine to make a smooth sauce - you have to be brave with this one but it is well worth it. I use the sauce to serve with french apple slice or apple cake.
