brandy butter
Spirited holiday topping
Brandy butter is a sweet, rich spread made by creaming butter with sugar and brandy.
It's a traditional British accompaniment to Christmas pudding and mince pies, served cold or at room temperature so it melts slightly against the warm dessert.
Also called hard sauce.
