Vinegar can be substituted.
Grate in a little nutmeg, and serve hot.
MOLASSES SAUCE.
This sauce is intended especially for apple dumplings and puddings.

One pint of molasses; one tablespoonful of butter; the juice of one lemon, or a large spoonful of vinegar.

It may be thickened with a tablespoonful of corn-starch dissolved in a little cold water, but is good in either case.
FOAMING SAUCE.
Cream half a cup of butter till very light, and add a heaping cup of sugar, beating both till white.
