For a thinner sauce, add a splash more cream at the end. If you prefer a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of regular melted butter. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your liking. Taste the sauce after it has simmered and add more sugar if needed. This sauce is also delicious served over roasted vegetables, such as sweet potatoes or Brussels sprouts.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium saucepan, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)
02
StepAdd the flour, rosemary, and thyme. Whisk constantly until the mixture is smooth and develops a light tan color. Be patient, this step is crucial for flavor development. (10-15 minutes)
03
StepGradually whisk in the heavy cream, adding it in small increments and allowing each addition to fully incorporate into the roux before adding more. This prevents lumps and ensures a silky-smooth sauce. (5 minutes)
04
StepStir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is smooth, slightly thickened, and the flavors have melded together. (5 minutes)
