Submitted by Girl from Ipanema

"This is my daughter Adrienne's recipe which she sent to me without any amounts or quantities of ingredients. So I have used the amounts that I normally use when making this sauce but after trying it you may adjust amounts to suit your taste. It is delicious and so easy to make. Freezes well."
