  Made this two night before Xmas, stuck it in the fridge then simply reheated for Xmas lunch. Very simple but really delicious.

  Tastes great. But a word of warning, this makes far too much for a four person dinner. I would say it serves at least 25

  Great recipe! I halved the ingredients & used creme fraiche instead of the cream. Plenty for 3-4 greedy guzzlers!! Will be using this recipe when I cook for my bosses on Christmas Day!

  I've made this bread sauce time and time again and it never fails, very easy and tasty to match! I usually only cook for 2 of us though so I have to halve the quantities and even then it makes enough to serve about 8 people, but it's great spread on beef sandwiches afterwards with a bit of horseradish so it never goes to waste.

  This recipe does make huge quantity but is lovely. Had a gorgeous free range goose as our Christmas bird and worked hard to do a really good spread with all the trimmings. The verdict? Everyone said the bread sauce was the nicest part of the meal!

  This is a great, great recipe. Of course, when you are at home and feeling a bit adventurous, you might modify or play around with different ingredients. I actually add two pieces of Star Anise to bring out the onion flavor, and also add a piece of mace - at the milk steeping stage. The result for me is a more savory bread sauce - especially for the holidays.

  Bread sauce is my favourite bit of Christmas dinner but I nearly didn't make it this year because I didn't have any cloves. I used a star anise instead as Jeremy mentions above and it was delicious!

  My favourite! Mum always used to make double so I could take it home and eat it with chips (of all things...). One tip she did give me was to leave the milk to infuse for an hour and liquidise the cooked onion with the sieved milk - it gives the sauce more body and loads more flavour. Enjoy!
