What a wee Godsend this recipe is. I made the sauce as given, then popped slices of ham into it and simmered them together for a few minutes. Necessity is the mother of invention when DH buys a HUGE ham...'cos it was cheap...for 2 people for Christmas. Served the hot ham and sauce with salad and chunks of French loaf. Easy, delicious, forgiving. Many thanks for sharing
