Hot Fudge Sauce

My friend served this with ice cream and brownies earlier this week and it was delicious!  She was gracious enough to share the recipe with me.  Enjoy!

Mix together in a sauce pan:

2 cups of sugar

1/3 cup of cocoa

Add:

1 can of evaporated milk

Bring to a slow boil, as mixture starts to thicken stir often to keep from burning.

Add:

1/2 cube of butter

Stir until butter melts and bring back to a slow boil until mixture gets a little thicker.  Take off heat and let stand until cool enough to eat.

Store in an air tight container and it will reheat in micro several more  times before it goes sugary.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

If you like cranberry sauce with your turkey at Thanksgiving, homemade is awesome!

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries

Bring water and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add cranberries and return to a boil. Reduce heat and boil gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour sauce into a bowl, cover and cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate until serving time. Makes 2 ¼ cups.
