Instructions
- Creating this heavenly raisin sauce is easier than you might think. Let me guide you through the process step by step:
Step 1: Mixing the dry ingredients

Step 3: Simmering the sauce

Notes
To ensure that your raisin sauce for dessert turns out perfectly every time, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:
– Make sure to stir the sauce constantly while simmering to prevent lumps from forming.
– Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more or less cornstarch-water mixture.
– For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a splash of rum or brandy to the sauce.
– Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
– To reheat the sauce, simply warm it gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
