This is a spicy pineapple and orange juice sauce thickened with eggs that works well with seamed sponge puddings.

Ingredients:

50g butter
50g caster sugar
juice of 1 orange
juice from a 225g tin of pineapple (or 60ml pineapple juice)
1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)

Method:

Place a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Add the butter and stir until melted.

Now stir in the sugar and beaten eggs. Combine the fruit juices in a jug and make up to 300ml with water then pour this into the bowl.

Cook the ingredients together, stirring constantly until the sauce is hot.

Blend the cornflour to a slurry with 2 tbsp water and add to the bowl. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Serve hot.
