🥘 Ingredients

1/2 pint of sherry, 1/4 pint of water, the yolks of 6 eggs, 2 oz. of pounded sugar, 1/2 teaspoonful of minced lemon-peel, a few pieces of candied citron cut thin.

👨‍🍳 Method

Separate the yolks from the whites of 5 eggs; beat them, and put them into a very clean saucepan (if at hand, a lined one is best); add all the other ingredients, place them over a sharp fire, and keep stirring until the sauce begins to thicken; then take it off and serve. If it is allowed to boil, it will be spoiled, as it will immediately curdle.

This one hit different

I tried my hand at this vintage wine sauce, and I must say, it was a delightful journey back in time. The process was simple enough, but the result was far more elegant than I expected from such humble ingredients. I found the lemon peel and candied citron added a surprising brightness that cut through the richness of the sherry and eggs, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. This sauce is perfect for the comfort-seeker in me, especially on a chilly evening. I can imagine it warming up a simple steamed pudding, turning an ordinary dessert into something extraordinary. The key, as the recipe warns, is to avoid boiling the mixture, which I found was easier said than done, but the reward was a velvety sauce that was worth the careful stirring. I'll definitely be making this again, perhaps with a modern twist like a splash of orange liqueur for added depth.
