Ingredients

  • 150 g butter - soften slightly, but not melted (5oz)
  • 70 g confectioner's sugar / icing sugar (2½oz) sifted
  • 70 g light brown sugar (2½oz)
  • ¼ teaspoon mixed spice
  • pinch ground cloves
  • 3 tablespoon brandy

Instructions

  • Place softened butter (150g/5oz) in a bowl and beat with a hand-held mixer until fluffy.
  • Add sugars (70g/2½oz each of light brown & icing sugar) and mix to combine.
  • Add mixed spice (¼tsp), ground cloves (a pinch) and brandy (3 tbsp), mixing to combine.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour to become firm.

Notes

  • In the recipe I have specified refrigerating the finished butter mixture to become firm - I suppose strictly speaking this is not totally necessary. But. If you are like me and you like the whole idea of the sauce melting before your eyes, AND the different textures as you eat it - some totally warm & runny, some still a bit firm but soft - then it's better served once it's firmed up in the fridge. 
  • You could also substitute rum or other alcohol for the brandy.
