    Question Dianne Sauce.... how???

    I have a nice roast in the slow cooker, with just water and fresh garlic, chopped roughly. I would usually take out the roast and make a garlic-y gravy, but would love to make a Dianne gravy......

    So, how do I do it??

    Can I make it in the slow cooker, with just cream, and take out some water?

    (there is only 1 1/2 cup of water in there)

    Thanks ladies.....

    DH makes one - he is mad keen for dianne sauce A(I'm not much of a fan myself) and this is his tried and true recipe and he'd probably have kittens if he knew I was giving it out on the www ROFL, but anyway, here it is;

    1tsbp 'woostershire' sauce (<- his spelling LOL)
    2 tsp sweet sherry
    1tsb white vinegar
    1/2 tsp minced garlic
    salt and pepper to taste
    sprig parsley finely chopped
    1/2 tsp powdered beef stock
    1/4 cup water
    1/4 cup thickened cream (dollop cream is the best for this but any will do)
    dash tomato sauce
    dash bbq sauce
    1 tsp butter

    Mix wooster sauce, S&P, sherry, water, vinegar, stock, parsley and garlic

    Grease skillet with the butter on medium heat, add liquid to skillet and simmer while stirring for 2-3 minutes

    Add cream while stirring and once cream is mixed add tomato and bbq sauces.

    Reduce sauce at a quick simmer to desired thickness.

    IF you have brandy you can use that instead, but it's more just to add a bit of acidity, so increase your water by half and an extra smidge of vinegar should see it turn out ok.
