Instructions: Grate the rind of an orange. Squeeze the orange and juice of one lemon into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then add: 1 1/2 cups water, 1 tablespoon corn syrup and sugar to taste. Thicken with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Add a piece of butter and cook until thickened. If the sauce is not sweet enough, add more sugar according to your taste.

Viv Says: The Fruit Sauce is one my grandmother concocted in the early 1900s. Its simple and just delicious. I make it every year to pour over our ChristmasEPudding (in cookbook).
