Apricot Jam Sauce.—Melt 4oz. of apricot jam with two tablespoonfuls of caster sugar, and four table- spoonfuls of water, and boil it altogether for ten minutes; sieve it, add a drop or two of carmine, a claret-glassful of noyau syrup and a good liqueur- glassful of rum, mix it well and use.
Any jam can be used in this way, of course varying the liqueur.
