This Christmas Pudding Ice Cream Sauce is just perfect poured over supermarket ice cream as a really quick but delicious festive dessert, or as a homemade gift
Melt the margarine in a saucepan, and add the cinnamon and nutmeg and stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
Add all the remaining ingredients (except the brandy or sherry), and bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove from the heat, stir through the brandy or sherry, and leave to cool - it will thicken as it cools.
Serve - for instance over vegan ice cream, scattered with chopped pecan nuts. The sauce will keep in an airtight tub or jar in the fridge for two months.
