  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 8 cups water

  3. For sauce, in a Dutch oven, combine the sugars, flour and salt. Gradually stir in water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; add raisins. Simmer for 10 minutes or until raisins are plump, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from the heat. Stir in butter until melted. Serve warm with gingerbread. Yield: 4 cakes (20 servings each) and about 10 cups sauce.
