Grandmother's Sauce

This sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat in a double boiler or microwave at 50% power, stirring frequently, until warmed through. If serving cold, allow it to come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving for best texture.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The sauce may thicken when chilled; thin with 1-2 teaspoons of warm milk if needed. Can be served cold over puddings or gently reheated in a double boiler, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Do not freeze, as the emulsion will break.
